I don't speak Vincent's language, so could someone
else explain to him what a "ventifact" is?

Nor do I. But the reassembled pieces look like the
lower trunk of a pyramid - in other words: if it is a
meteorite it may have been oriented with the upper
part of the pyramid still missing and Vince's
description
plus the chocolate-like coating (see NWA 482)
reminiscent of flow lines leads me to a very audacious
assumption:

Could that be another lunar meteorite???

Best assumptions,
Bernd
