Equilibrated Odriterdinary Chon?

[obieblue]

I found this rock it has a reddish orange fusion crust (possibly) and made up of tinny (white) circle dots, very dry and it sounds similar to a fire brick when I put its pieces back together. it was very hard to break into pieces and even though it is white in color when I filed a piece it left a light brown dust on a steal filer. I poured vinegar on rock and there was no reaction I mean no fizzing or foaming, it just rolled right off and did not soak into rock either.

Does it look like a equilibrated odriterdinary chondrite meteorite to anyone who reads this thread? It also has shock rings within the interior.

Welcome to Tnet.

It looks nothing like an ordinary chondrite to me... nor any other kind of meteorite. Shock rings are not a usual feature of meteorites either. Shock features are more usually vein-like, following the weakest structural areas of the lithology and also usually apparent through to the surface as well as in the interior. I'm also not seeing anything that resembles a fusion crust, weathered or otherwise.

You haven't said whether it has any attraction to a magnet. A carbonaceous chondrite might not (although it's clearly not carbonaceous) but even low metal ordinary chondrites will exhibit weak attraction. If it's completely non-magnetic then it won't be an ordinary chondrite, and is much less likely to be any kind of meteorite... although magnetic attraction is not a confirmatory test since many terrestrial rocks exhibit some degree of magnetic properties.

here are better images, the only metal if there appear as tinny little shiny spect's and it would have a very low iron nickel metal ratio if it is a meteorite because it doesn't seem to attack to a magnet
the red images are the exterior and the grey and white images are the interior.

The nickel content of the metal in meteorites is typically around 20% and doesn’t exceed about 30% in chondrites. Most of the rest will be iron, with a few percent of other metals.

If you can see grains, flecks, or veins of native metal in a specimen but there is no attraction to a magnet then it isn’t a meteorite. There are no exceptions to that rule.
