How can you determine if you have found a meteorite?

Oh honey, if you think you found a meteorite, you need to check for a dark, often crusty exterior called a fusion crust, plus some thumbprints from entering Earth's atmosphere. Make sure it's not too heavy (they're denser than regular rocks) and might even attract a magnet because they contain iron. Get that magnifying glass out and look for small bubbles called regmaglypts for the final meteorite confirmation.
