Can you identify this rock and how it was formed ?
What is this rock ? Found under a deck.
About a foot long. Seems porous (surface covered with tiny holes)
Quite heavy (like iron) but does not seem magnetic. Pointed at one end , Rounded at the other. ?? Meteorite that landed in a lake ? Petrified yam ?

It is fecal matter.
Well, it LOOKS like it. Like from a large animal.
On the serious side, you say it is heavy for the size? Then it might be ferrous in nature, maybe a lot of iron in it, or yes you might be right about it being from space. But the thing is, the meteorites usually look more like a rock. (That I have seen). I would suggest taking it to a local University, science dept. Between the biological and physical/astronomical depts., you may find out! And, PLEASE post what you find out, HERE! P;EASE!

Can't see it well enough to say, and yahoo won't let you load a more memory-intensive picture allowing us to zoom and see details. Try Reddit "Whatsthisrock" and use a higher detail image. There is nothing obvious that I can see which lets me say "it's one of these..."

I have no idea, but I did grin big at "petrified yam." Not a lot of grins out there, so thank you!
