Found in southern Arizona today on the surface of the ground in kind of a washout area leading down to a drywash that was full of loose stones.
Nice and heavy and magnetic.
Tried scratching it on the bottom of a coffee cup (unglazed porcelain) and it didn't seem to leave a mark.
Thanks in advance.

I spoke to Geoffrey Notkin, the Meteorite Man himself at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show today and he said it was magnetite. Dang it :-[
He's got some nice meteorites for sale tho, might go back tomorrow and buy one.
