Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
This rock was found on the beach in Virginia. Every broken surface
is shiny. There is no fusion crust.
It has a very low density.

What is it?
It's a piece of anthracite
coal. It probably fell off a barge and
washed up on the beach.
I'm unaware of any meteorite that was found on a beach. If someone
knows differently, please let me know
