Among a few rocks (mostly fossils) I found an interesting stone which was nothing like the others in the area. I don't think it is a meteorite but it does look like some kind of breccia. It is a broken quarter sphere in shape and the photos are of the two broken surfaces. I'd appreciate any opinions on this one.
