Hello Eric,
>From the pictures, it's hard to tell, but I would say that it is most
likely an ordinary chondrite. That said, the pictures aren't clear
enough to tell for certain - to me it almost looks a little bit like a
CR2, but I would only be able to tell with a) the stone in my hands or
b) pictures of a cut surface.
