The story goes that my great great grandfather found this rock when he was digging a foundation to a house many years ago. It is not magnetic but seems really heavy for its size. There is a part of the outer burnt shell that is broken off and looks like normal rock inside.
I hope someone with some education in Meteorites or Geology can tell me what it is.

So what do you think?
Is this a real Meteorite?
