My wife, a meteoriticist here at U/Az (I'm just an asteroid finder) says, "nope, not a meteorite". She's seen tens of thousands of them. Still, if you disagree, and some do, cut it in half nice and clean and put the cut sides on a flat bed scanner and do a scan at highest resolution and post that photo.
