I think it's a rock.

Nope. Meteorites don't have gas bubbles.... holes. Probably volcanic in origin. TTC

Ok thanks!

Please check the USGS site. Not very complete but it tells of anchient volcanos in SC and other Southeastern states. TTC

By all the flakes around the photo it apears soft like a sedimentary rock.
Usually a meteorite will be very heavy like what it is, a hunk of mostly iron. Very magnetic, and looks like it's been melted. Not always ez to spot espicially if weathered. When I first started looking, I went to a rock shop and studied what they had. A friend bought one so he could zero in his dectector. My first surprise was just how magnetic they are.
The Natural History here in Albuquerque has a large collection.
Sounds like TerryC has had some luck with finds. I'm still looking.

I have not yet found my own.... I take that back.... I have found hundreds of MICROMETEORITES but no large ones. I went up to Gold Basin, AZ with Bunk and others but I found none. I will go up there again to find my own. Micrometeorites are EVERYWHERE. Google them up to see how easy they are to collect. Most of my knowledge of space rocks have come from books and other Tnetters... such as THE TUBE (Tuberale). I suggest reading books by O.Richard Norton or Robert Haag (the original Meteorite Man). Take care. TTC

Looks like Fossilized coral rock. Known sometimes as lace rock. It's similar to the rock I have in my reef tank but not as brown

I live on a small mountain/big hill in Mexico, which is mostly made of travertine marble. I just posted a leaf fossil posting, and that rock sure looks like yours. Though since I am not a rock expert, I may be missing important issue.
