I'd like opinions on what type this might be. Thought it might be fun for some of the listees to opine.

Although I am currently researching a newly discovered H.V. Impact Event site in North Amerca that has just been confirmed from dating analysis to have occurred approx. 350-400 years B.P. and some of the Melt rocks and Breccias I have found appeared very similar. They are nonetheless, Terrestrial. Please, let us know the verdict. Still a cool rock!

It is almost impossible to know what type of meteorite from the photos, Although the second photo (photo 2) of the cut surface may give us a hint on being some sort of an achondrite. I cannot see chondrules in the cut surface. Good luck in the identification process and thanks for the nice photos.
