Sand grains from the Sahara Desert are caliche-cemented to the exterior of unwashed chondritic

[rockpassion]

I have found a basaltic rock which has caliche cemented sand grains on it and i have never seen that before. In this article they talk about it: https://meteorite-recovery.tripod.com/2007/nov07.htm could it mean it is meteoritic. Or what does it say about my rock, that it came from a ancient dessert in europe?

That is an interesting rock, no question. The little round nodules in what you're calling caliche are interesting.

Thanks, those are rounded sand grains cemented together with white sand. Never found anything like it.
