Hi,

My thoughts are that, that is NWA 074, (an H6 chondrite) I have seen a
largish slice of that before and it is nearly identical! Very large
amounts of uniform metallic iron just like that, and not many if any
distinct chondrules (at least visually).

Best,

Mark Ford

I want to thank all who offered input on my mystery specimen and whether
or not it could 
be a mesosiderite.  Some said the pic was too blurry to really see, so I
took a good 
clear closeup.  Here it is;

Exterior shot isn't as clear but shows the general texture of the
specimen;

Don't mean to hammer this question to death but I am still interested in
input with these 
clearer shots.  For example, are the greyish blobs chondrules or not?
