It does look like basalt at first glance, but the fusion crust is unmistakable in hand.

IMBs usually have more rust, not less. Looks like basalt.

The link to the trip report is wrong, can use this instead: nuggetshooter(dot)ipbhost(dot)com/topic/35014-two-strewn-fields-two-days-two-meteorites/

It is the most unusual chondrite I've ever found, probably mostly melt material which could explain its unique appearance and lack of rust compared to other Bullhead City stones. I was uncertain for the first minute staring at it, but the fusion crust is undeniable.
