[meteorite-list] What is this?

[Jim Strope]

Anybody have any ideas?

Obviously not a meteorite but here is the story.

"I have a friend who has what he thinks is a metorite which was disccovered 
near an adena indian burial mound by a grave digger in 1894 and given to a 
doctor for a medical bill. This possible metorite weighs about 75 lbs. and 
is black in color like the one you have for same but it is more symmetrical 
and water melon shaped."
