Hi Mike, List,
I'd like to see inside but but I've not yet windowed it. I'm in no
hurry to damage it, just in case it's special. I can say that in hand
you can see there are small chondrule like features and chunks of
darker rock. There are also some dark, metallic looking things. The
pictures do it no justice. The thing that cast's doubt in my mind is
the fact that there is no attraction whatsoever to the super magnet.
It's probably petrified fruit or a dino egg, or a concretion, or any
one of the other things people have suggested. The odds of it being a
rare meteorite are infinitely small, this I'm well aware of.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Wow, Paul has a valid point. That is definitely not a meteorite, but
it could be something very interesting nonetheless. :)
Are you going to window it?

I don’t think that is a meteorite. But the “flow” lines looked
puzzling
until I remembered my experience with finding fossilized fruits
on the Queen Charlotte Islands in BC. Canada
I think it is a fossilized fruit of some sort.
Spinifructus antiquus
take a look here: sort of like a fig

Still a cool find.
