i should add that it was found near a river, there is virtualy no know volcanic history in the area,and the rock appears to be in its natural context. i thought that it may be hornfels but im not sure

Someone go out to the barn and get farmerman...

I would call that a "hard rock" but it also looks like it has "fool's gold" in it .

@antonio96,
My geophysicist stepdad would probably call it a leverite. Leave 'er right there. Smile
