Hi, thanks for the detailed answer! The owner of the rock intends to get it certified as a metheorite, so he'll seek a professional. I'll keep you posted when something comes up. The place where he found it was a rocky beach, but the rocks come from somewhere else, since they were planted there...

Also, if it can help, the rock was found near (1,3 km away) an oil refinery.

I actually have more detailed images of the inner surface of the rock, because, as you can see, it craked in different fragments.

Hello! My friend found a rock on a beach near Ancona, in central Italy, and now he's convinced it's a meteorite. I have some doubts, however: it looks too cracky and porous. I'm attaching a few pictures of the rock: could someone give me an opinion? Thank you very much for the kind attention...
