Erik and all,

Can't tell too much through the weathered crust.  Sometimes though, the 
chondritic material in an impact melt breccia ablates easier than the melt 
forming deeper than normal thumbprints.  You might have to cut it to be sure.

The following link to Bob Haag's site has a photo of Cat Mountain that shows 
some deep fissures similar to the ones in yours.

Cheers,

Hello List,
  At the Tucson Show this year I purchased a few unclassified chondrites from
Dima. One of them has very interesting oblation pits that creat ridges.  Is this
because the stone is most likely brecciated?
Or just an interesting fenominom?
