Primary Interest:
Prospecting
This was found when i dissolved a bigger rock with light acid . The next day this was in the can. It has very distinctive meteorite markings.
my theory is in fell in a inland sea fell to the bottom and was encased in sediment . then the seabed was dredged up by the glaciers and deposited somewhere else, then i found it and exposed it from its casing it has no or very little natural terrestrial erosion and is as is from the casing. i call it the casing the casing was made up of microscopic sea shells . It has hundreds of Regmaglypt's Abundent streaking and a nice fusion back. I would say it is in as fell condition maybe as close as possible.
But it does not match any known meteorite type i can find is it possibly silicone . The size is a little smaller than a soccer ball. weight 13.6 lbs.

New pics look much better.. :occasion14:

It sorta looked like those first pics were taken under a fluorescent light, which has
a tendency to make things very yellowish.

I can't ID the rock, but it's one of the coolest looking rocks I've seen. No doubt someone
with better education on rock ID's will come along soon. :icon_thumleft:
