Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
Like no. 135, the finder thought that this rock was a meteorite because
he thought the coating was a fusion crust
and because the rock is rounded. Fusion crusts aren't orange like
the coating on this rock. Also, the rock does not have regmaglypts.

What is it?
We don't know. The rock is from Finland. Almost for sure, it was rounded
by a glacier. Unfortunately, there are many processes on Earth that
produce rocks with coatings. This one appears to have some kind of
thin iron oxide coating.
