One side was almost flat so I cut a thin crust slice off, but it left me none the wiser.

No crust and only mildly attracted to a magnet

None of the rocks pictured have any visible characteristics of meteorites.

Also, attraction to a magnet, by itself, is meaningless. Many of the rocks in my driveway are attracted to a magnet.

Time for more coffee.

I don't THINK it's a meteorite, but, I've been divorced more times that I can remember. :laughing7: Do you have a college geology department anywhere near you?
 

One of your photos looks like feldspar crystals, if so, its not a meteorite
