Why this rock
is probably not a meteorite:
The finder thought this one looked like a lunar breccia. It bears
some textural resemblance, but moon rocks don't have brown clasts
like this. On the other hand, some originally-white clasts in lunar
meteorites from Oman are now reddish from staining by hematite.
We have no real knowledge of what a lunar breccia that fell thousands
of years ago in the U.S. would look like now.

What is it?
I suspect that its a terrestrial volcaniclastic rock.
