Could be a ORIENTED meteorite!
That means it came through the atmosphere in a one way direction and did not roll on entry!
Look this up in your search box to see these types of meteorites.
Here are some symptoms!
Magnetic,does not leave a streak mark,will cause a compass to detract/reflect,
The grounded spot also does not leave a streak color.
Thin burnt crust or rusty crust that is weathered from time on the ground.
A professional will know the different
Has rounded nodules on the inside and small shiny flakes of iron. The etching part should be done by a professional lab/University geology class teacher or trained meteorite professional.
Look up all the information you can find with pictures to see if any look similar to your rock and if anything fits the pattern send it in for testing.
It could be a Ordinary chondrite or Stony meteorite.Just an opinion.
