Jason took a look and said it looks like long  term static weathering.  I 
will put it in my cool looking meteorwrong  pile.  Thanks every one for 
looking and thanks Jason!

Hi List,  I was thinking some of you may  of  seen features like this and 
could save me some investigation  time.  I would  like to email some pics 
of a 
stone with what looks  like flow lines and  orientation.

It has light magnetic attraction  and no chondrules.   There are olivine 
chunks in the broken  face.  It looks like volcanic rock  (Basalt) but I 
have 
never seen  these surface features on Earth rocks.

The  result of my last "sure  thing" are posted to my Gallery (Terrestrial  
Basalt).  I sent a  sample to Tony Irving and I do not want to wear out my  
welcome by  sending him a boat load of Earth rocks to look at so I will 
wait 
and   see what you think before I decide to ask Tony to take a  look.

Please  email me if you are willing to take a look and share  your  
observations.
