Interesting, maybe it is and maybe not. I definitely vote yes on this one. Perhaps you should try doing some home tests.
 

Sorry man, but there is absolutely no regmaglypts that I can see, nor do I see anything resembling fusion crust.
I vote Leverite!

Per Dr. Suneson it is.

Who is Dr. Suneson? A meteoricist? In this case, I certainly cannot eliminate it based on your photos. It could certainly be a stone meteorite based on the photos, but, obviously, we can't expect to clinch by photo. It just doesn't look like a rock that can be immediately dismissed based on photos, but is it a meteorite?

if you refer to Dr. Neil Suneson, a geologist at the University of Oklahoma, does he have good experience with meteorites? Remember, Earth geology is one thing. Planetary geologists are the ones specializing in off world samples. A meteoricist is in a better position to judge then a geologist, but you are certainly showing your sample to a person knowledgable in rocks. If he has a great deal of experience working with meteorites, you might have something there. Good luck if so!

They need to develop a particle accelerator application for my droid smart phone. Then we could test the sucker in the field. lol But it looks like a meteorite to me
 

If it is thats a pretty cool find. Man I need to start walking my dogs more.

It is cool. It might be a meteorite. Need to file a window in the rock. A small window filed past any fusion crust (generally less than 1mm thick) should expose Widmanstatten diagrams. I'd be cautious about saying meteorite without that. Most meteorites found are small. This appears to have that going for it.
