Quite possibly could be a basalt of some sort.
It's lighter than you would expect for a rock of this size though. I go
through hundreds of meteorites per week, and this one just jumped out at
me. This is why I ask... When I don't know the best thing is to ask
someone who does. ;)
Flow lines aren't on all meteorites.. ;) In fact most meteorites DON'T
have flow lines. Not ALL meteorites have regmaglypts either. I can show
you meteorites right now that have NO thumbprinting at all but are
absolutely 100% genuine meteorites.

Looks like a fine grained basalt covered with desert varnish.
I see no fusion crust (flow lines etc.) and no regamaglypts. In the
cut surface, no metal, no chondrules, and no heat affected zone.

OK,
Anyone have an idea of what the heck this is?
