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.

Regards,
Eric
