hi would you take a look at a rock i found ,to simplify things i made a video of it on youtube headed "I FOUND A 4.5 BILLION YEAR OLD METEORITE WITH A FOSSIL INSIDE" i thought it was a fossil as i have never seen anything like this and the wonderful colours and metals that you will see in the video ,many thanks Pete Davies.
I know you won't like this answer, but what i suspect you have there is an ironstone concretion that has been altered through geologic activity- ie it has formed in the ground, and that area has undergone either volcanic or tectonic action, effectively cooking it . I have been metal detecting in an area containing rocks identical to this as well as altered basalt nodules that contain a core of solid iron- very remarkable rocks and super annoying as the iron core sings under a metal detector coil and i dug many larger ones at several feet deep! Your nickel test shows up orange- which is a sign of iron in solution. I would suggest finding something that is known to contain nickel, such as a kitchen utensil with epsn stamped on it and test it- comparing with your rock- they will be very different in color.
hi thanks for looking, but what a bout the metal and the glassy balls, and all the other odd things, the flow lines, the density,the what seems like metals, you only find one fault the nickel test, i found this in a wood sitting on leaf base, no where near any volcanic or desert lands matter of fact my dog found it scraped away the dense leaves, and stood over it till i went over to see surly concretions dont have metal specks like in this object, and what is the fossil, so many questions, i have done a couple of more videos related to this, i understand and respect your opinion and i am sure you are right , however it still all puzzels me Pete.@@MinersDenAustralia
the rocks i described finding were exactly the same. Ironstone (haematite, magnetite etc) can all look metallic when filed, ground or scratched. As for location, rocks can move by other means besides geology- ie human activity, random or odd as it may seem. The absolute test is for nickel- if it does not contain nickel, it is not a meteorite. Google image search for 'ironstone concretion' and you will see all manor of odd stones that have similar properties and internal makeup to your piece. I will say yours is a very impressive example of a concretion though!

Good job
Very informative and interesting 👍
