Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
There's no fusion crust.
It was found on the beach. Meteorites aren't found on beaches.
The matrix is too reddish.
Many of the interior pebbles (clasts) are rounded. They were rounded
by abrasion against other pebbles in water. Meteorites come from places
that don't have air and water, so clasts in meteorites are never rounded
like this.
