I would say so, that’s what I would look for, but I don’t know much. Looks like it had a quick heating phase blapping through the atmosphere in that orientation and the shape was locked in obs as it cooled, prob cos it’s little it didn’t have a lot of thermal mass so it cooled enough while still falling and maybe smacked down on the blunt end on a hard surface, or is that just the aerodynamics? Yes I would say that’s the aerodynamic shape locked in.
Very cool.
Could it have landed partially molten or plastically deformed in a sedimentary rock?
It looks like aluminum that was left in a bonfire to me. I’m no expert just have seen something similar.

I would like to know the answer too maybe r/askscience
Is that not just remnants of passing through the atmosphere?
Take it easy fella, you don’t need a meteorite to show off your bedazzled ruler.
Ablation lines formed as it came through atmosphere

How candles drip down the sides is how those lines formed as the iron melted from the friction of entering the atmosphere. Looks like the end at 1″ is the tail end. Its pretty cool.
How do you find stuff like this? That’s incredibly cool
The parallel lines next to the number 1 and 2 are “inch” increments that are part of the archaic “imperial” measuring system. Early descriptions define the legal definition of the inch as “three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end, lengthwise”.
For some reason the US and parts of Canada still use this measurement in school, society, and trade, despite the metric system being both superior and the international standard.
I’m not sure about the lines on the rock.
Was the wood grain in the table not there before??
Curious what proof you have that this IS an actual meterorite?
Bros got the dragon balls contained in a ruler
I dont think what you got there is a meteorite. They usually have a flaky crust on the outside, rough and with dimples that kind of stick out like popped bubbles – never smooth or shiny. It could potentially be from a meteorite, maybe smelted or polished somehow but that’s certainly not how they are found.
This looks like forge slag to me.
Did you magnet test it?
Could you please put it next to a banana or a lighter for scale?
