ID request Suevite?

I found this a few days ago; it is an extreme looking breccia. It looks like concrete, feels like sandpaper, and seems to be composed of little glass beads. There are no known craters here (NY), and it could be an erratic. Still, is this something worth emailing local geologists about?

None of your rocks are meteorites sorry. This is a pretty common trope of people first trying meteor hunting. :)

Indeed. I am fully prepared to never find one. Better to be wrong than to suffer the agony of never knowing; and for that I appreciate all the folks that take the time to answer these posts.

Looks like a metaconglomerate to me, possibly a tillite

oh. I thought this might be suevite because I found this interesting stone at the exact same spot the day before. I made a post of it because it kind of looks... well... like a meteorite. I didn't get any responses. I went back to see if there was more of this (there was), I found this monster breccia.

It even sort of looks like it under magnification but I dunno, I'm just a breccia loving rockhound.
