This rock cut my attention because it looked like a little animal or something stepped on it and also it weighs 200.48 g which is 1002.5 carats one thing I have was saying it may be a space rock because I see a lot of Things in it that are round white also the weight it is magnetic it does stick to a magnet not real strong it’s 3 inches long by 2 1/2 , part 2 at bottom

inches wide it has what looks like two eyes and a mouth in the front with a skull that looks like was that down by a little animal or something with a footprint on the back Here’s some pictures if anyone can help me identify it really would appreciate it thank you for your time
 

I don't think it is a meteor, it does not look like any I have ever seen or pictures searched, the shapes you think you see are caused by pareidolia.

Definitely not a space-rock (and note that a "meteor" is the streak seen in our atmosphere from a "meteoroid", which is then termed a "meteorite" if it reaches the Earth's surface).

It won't be magnetite because that's strongly attracted to a magnet. Hematite is non-magnetic except when magnetite is present as a secondary mineral. Hematite is easily determined from the red-brown streak it will give on the unglazed back of a porcelain tile.

It appears to be a terrestrial igneous porphyry and perhaps in the territory of "spotted basalt". Many igneous Earth rocks (including some basalts) are weakly magnetic.

I I am sorry this is not the rock the sticks to a magnet I was thinking about the other rock I have when I was saying that it attracted to a magnet this one doesn’t stick to a magnet I started collecting all kinds of rocks so once again I apologize but thank you for giving me some more education on meteors
