[meteorite-list] strange rock - meteor wrong sliced

[Mike Hankey]

List member Derik Bower sliced up the strange rock that was reported
to me last week. (thanks Derik)

I originally thought this was a type of slag. When I sent the pics out
to the list a lot of people said it was worth following up on.

The window test revealed some bubbles and it was game over at that
point. I wanted to slice it open just to see what it looked like on
the inside:

Thanks for all the help last week with this. I learned several new
identification tests:
- base density test
- window test
- tile scrape test
- slice test
- nickle test
