Does a chondrite have that many wholes in it?? Hard to see in photo,
but it does not remind me of any meteorite?

An Edgecombe Community College astronomy class experienced hands-on
learning
recently when they analyzed a meteorite found by a local farmer.
Students in Descriptive Astronomy, taught by Rebecca Stamilio,
examined a
146-pound meteorite that fell into a local farmer’s field.
He discovered the meteorite when he was plowing his land last year.
The big rock
sliced his disk in half.
“There are three classes of meteorites, and we think this is a
stone meteorite,” said Stamilio, who is a physics and industrial
trades
instructor at the college. Stone meteorites are the largest group of
meteorites,
and they once formed part of the outer crust of a planet or asteroid.
The class measured the meteorite and discussed its different features.
