<< Dear Ken, Michael and List,
 I concur with Ken. The "meteorite" appears to have
been manufactured with a acetylene torch or forge and
a sledge hammer or press. The "mass" has an unusual
cross-section for a real iron meteorite and the
thumb printing looks like hammer or press marks. Good
job Ken in pointing out this suspect"meteorite". Best

What Dirk and Ken said....
 Perhaps bogus was too strong but definitely a hoax.
The "pseudo-regmaglypts" are rimmed, indicating these
are not ablation features but ducted( as in ductile)
and sheer features.
