Is this a meteorite?

[kolleamm]

I was hiking today in the desert in Las Vegas and I came across this. It weighs about 81.7g and feels pretty heavy for its size which is about 1.85in across the longest distance.
What do you think it is?

Looking through the pic's and in particular #5 and #6 ( img 0143 and 0144)
My first thoughts are hematite or iron furnace slag. All the bubble holes and the style of flow that can be seen on those pic's
is the giveaway particularly for it being furnace slag


cheers
