I once bought a polished oolite when I was told they were fossil fish eggs. I've since learned they are just named after eggs. They do certainly look like petrified fishbait. Nothing meteortie at all.

Hi Mohamed and Happy New Year,
I just had a moment to check out your latest images. Good news: I can
tell you what those little white spheroids are in your rock: oolites.
I found one of these myself on a dry lake (pleistocene) and was quite
intrigued. After much research, I discovered that I had an oolitic
limestone.
If you should cut one of these little white spheroids in half, you'll
discover that it consists of dozens of concentric layers -- like
an onion.
Keep at it -- put enough hours in the field and you can't help but
find a meteorite.
Cheers,
Rob
