What characteristics of this rock lead you to believe it may be a meteorite?
 

Not a meteorite. Looks like river cobble. :skullflag:

Yeah cobble.
Common dark quartzite.
Native tribes often used these cobbles as "hammer" stones chiefly due to the hard grainy structure.
Used to fracture other stones such as chert to make projectile points.
These were also used as manos (Grinding stone) but not yours.
Yours may have been used as hammer stone.

The characteristics of stone:
1) The rock is attracted to the magnet well
2) In the rock surface there is a yellow metal.
