Is it a meteorite?

[Otto Barotto]

Hello,
I found this "rock" a few years ago on a freshly plowed field in Germany, Munich and left it among other interesting rocks in my backyard. A few nights ago I thought I'd share it with the online community and ask for help on what it might be.
It weighs 250g, it is about 8-9cm long and 3-4cm wide. It is magnetizing and has a lot of grooves and cilindrical holes. One side of it seems to have changed color from black to rusty brownish.
10x in advance,
Otto

Looks like basalt. Not a meteorite.

Your rock has no visible characteristics of meteorites.

Time for more coffee.
