Well... it could, but it could also be one of any of a number of much more common Earth rocks. The message needs to be repeated again that there's no way an achondrite meteorite can be identified from pictures alone. It doesn't have any obvious meteoritic features such as a fusion crust.

i understand but it does have the typical cracks that NWA meteorite also have and it is a weathered stone so fusion crust wil be weathered away. But do you see that there is a brown outside and in some places that has broken away and shows a white interiour. Last photo second post.

Yes, but neither the cracks, nor the darker exterior are diagnostic features for meteorites versus terrestrial rocks,

Well after finding another rock that i new was a limestone and which had the same inclusion as the posted rock the conclusion is limestone. Well i think i must realy stop posting carbage earth rocks now. I have made a ***ss of myself. But to round things off i want to show the last rock i will post because it stumps me. It is a dark and heavy stone which has green lath shaped crystals in a dark matrix. But here is the thing it is ZERO atracted to a magnet?

Well as my last post on meteorites i want to show this site and it realy says it all. to be short the change of finding a meteorite just lying around not in a known strewnfield is 0%. Enjoy this page: https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-realities/

You're not "making a ***ss of yourself" and your boundless enthusiasm to find a meteorite is admirable.

It's just that you need to temper that enthusiasm with a little more experience and realism about the chances of randomly finding a meteorite, and the need for something more than superficial appearance to confirm it.

Maybe one day?
