Habe diesen seltsamen Stein beim Wandern im Libanon-Gebirge gefunden. Es gibt einige Stellen, die magnetischer sind als andere, und es fühlt sich ziemlich schwer an? Könnte es ein Meteorit sein?

It’s unlikely to be a meteorite simply because of the size.
Not sure. Could it be slag? Unusual shape for meteorite but I’ll let the experts chime in.
Slag concretion.
Assuming you mean Mount Lebanon, PA and not the country of – Mines in that area produced iron, cobalt, copper, silver, and gold right up until the early 80s. Ore processing pre 1900 was often done on-site at the the mine. This is likely slag waste that became a concretion with other mine tailings.
POTENTIAL meteorite? So you’re saying you’re going to launch it into space so that it can fall down and become an ACTUAL meteorite?
I think it’s unlikely to be a meteorite but the size, shape, and distribution of stuff at first glance. But you can definitely bring it to a college with a planetary sciences (or similar) department and they usually will be happy to take a look. You might have to do some digging on who is the right person to contact.
Ever seen joe dirt? Because that looks like space poop.
Looks like a steak I was given and promptly returned last night for dinner.
I literally thought I was looking at a post from the r/shittyfoodporn or r/poopfromabutt at first. 😂
More likely coprolite, because it certainly looks like one.
If it feels quite heavy it probably isn’t a meteorite. It should feel very heavy and dense.

Post it on r/UFO, they have some interesting theories around this type of material.
Looks like the steak someone tried to serve me last month.
I thought the first pic was left by their dog
I am 100% sure this is slag. I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Look it up if you like. This is literally everywhere. We fill our driveways with it because it’s so abundant.
Potentially but how are you going to get it up there?
How much does it weigh? Also, what’s its density? You can get a rough density by measuring its volume – fill a container with water, carefully place this in it (maybe tie a string and lower it), make sure its not got air trapped under it anywhere, catch the water that overflows, then measure that water amount, that’s the volume of the object Divide weight by volume to get density, compare with typical meteorite density on geology web sites.
Also I can’t tell if this is on a tablecloth or a handkerchief! When presenting unknown objects, it helps to have a standard object for scale, like a ruler, common coin, geologists hammer or banana.
Looks like a deposit left by my mates German Shepherd
First pic looks like a grossly overcooked NY Strip
We had a driveway made of slag from a zinc smelter that looked a lot like this when I was growing up in Beaver County PA. But it might also be a meteor. It’s kinda neat looking.
Nope. Have you googled any pics of *any* meteorites? Do any of them resemble the mass you have?
There’s your answer…
Doesn’t look like a meteorite at all, it’s a slag.
That’s slag for sure. I’m fascinated with mining and metal recovery and have been around the stuff and seen old slag, new slag my entire life.
I too have dug up slag thinking it was a meteorite
Post on r/geology if you want to get destroyed.
It’s industrial slag. I took one of these to the London natural history museum once as a child and it turned out to be slag. Not ‘A’ slag. It’s not your mum. 👍
First glance, I thought that first pic was an overcooked piece of steak 🤣
Look like my moms roast…extra chars for bot detection
I thought this was r/food. Those look like some of my attempts at medium-rare steak.
