meteorite rain gutter??

[rockpassion]

found this in my rain gutter close under my window so i spotted it by eye. Weakly atracted to a magnet. beautifull shape and metalic grey. Could it be a meteorite?

Only way to know, for sure, is to have it authenticated. Anything else is just a guess, IMO

I'm certainly not very knowledgeable on meteorites but maybe. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along. I will say that micrometeorites are VERY common in gutters.

A very interesting specimen indeed. If it was an Iron meteorite it would attract a magnet like me to Lynda Carter! Since it is only mildly attracted, maybe volcanic, basalt? I have watched Ravens drop rocks on roofs and in gutters. I hope it is a meteorite, but I'm skeptical.

I have studied it well with my 10x loupe and a can see what looks lik specks of metal and have seen a small white inclusion. Will have to do a correct magnet test on a string. cool small guy and i am not going to damage it in anyway just keep it as a curiosity. and will look at it under the microscope at the local natural history depot when they are done moving location and setled in.

True, but she still turns heads. This is her at 72.
