[meteorite-list] Meteorite or Meteorwrong?

[Meteorites USA]

Quite possibly could be a basalt of some sort.

It's lighter than you would expect for a rock of this size though. I go 
through hundreds of meteorites per week, and this one just jumped out at 
me. This is why I ask... When I don't know the best thing is to ask 
someone who does. ;)

Flow lines aren't on all meteorites.. ;) In fact most meteorites DON'T 
have flow lines. Not ALL meteorites have regmaglypts either. I can show 
you meteorites right now that have NO thumbprinting at all but are 
absolutely 100% genuine meteorites.

Regards,
Eric
