Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
The smooth glass skin on this rock is on a flat side.
The rock is full of holes. Meteorites don't have holes.

What is it?
This is another vesicular volcanic rock, probably a basalt.
When lava is erupted, the surface in contact with the air cools first,
making a glassy surface. Because the lava is a liquid, the top surface
is mostly flat. See also meteorwrong no. 018.
