Hello I need help with one and some experts advice on my rock. It looks like it was molten at some point with a fusion crust, abnormal shape, and it looks like another rock piggy backed it’s way behind the stone and became melted to it. Haven’t weighed it and a refrigerator magnet didn’t stick to it but it still looks like to me it could be a meteorite possibly.
When I say weight it I mean to find it’s specific gravity. What do u guys think thanks again

Refrigerator magnets are made from paste.
Weak, though it should stick as most meteorites have iron content.
From what I have read they are not shiny or glossy unless polished.
 

Okay I don’t believe it’s polished unless it’s desert varnish but was found no where close to a desert

Looks like natural erosion on a soft stone, some form of sandstone possibly. When it was formed different density material was infused and over time the wind sun and rain eroded the softer material. Just my opinion. I have an Arkansas version right now thats almost identical, except light brown, that im turnig into a marble.

Agreed. The first photo in your second post is the giveaway. You can see where the softer layers have worn more than the harder layers, typical of erosion. I don't see anything suggesting it's a meteorite.
