I was working on a clamming vessell and drug up a unique rock, marble black inside, very smooth, outside is covered in a white
thin covering, very heavy, also sort of osidian.

Oh, you are very lucky then. You finally found the most precious stone. Try to break it. If its inner part is still the same as the outer part, then you got a meteorite. And if that's a meteorite, you got a black diamond. Remember when a meteor fell on the earth somewhere in, I think Cambodia or Laos. Well, did they still break more news about it?
You are very lucky. So, if you're not a greedy type of person, kindly give me at least a small portion of it ;)

It is extremely unlikely to be a meteorite...for many reasons, not the least of which is that most are not marble black on the inside. Take it to a gemologist, mineral expert, or member of a rockhounding club...this isn't a question that can be conclusively answered by a bunch of geeks on yahoo answers.

This doesn't sound like a meteorite just by the fact you said it was smooth. If you want to see different pics. of meteorites you can always go to google images, or even ebay, i have seen them sold on there and you can compare images. Congratulations on your find though it does seem quite exciting!!

A university with an Astronomy and Physics Department

See if you can contact the Physics Professor of a university nearby to come and see it, they cover astronomy and may be able to tell you or find someone who can.

Sounds like a meteorite to me. You should call a skilled professor at astronomy and space to look at it for you, if you don't know who to call call 411 and they'll find you one fast.

That sounds like a meteorite. Maybe you could take it to a local observatory.
