Yup, and that's a pretty standard density for meteorites. Depending on error bars on that corgi, it could be a chunkier/less porous type of chondrite (very common), but that's about all I'd be willing to put forward. Enstatites are less dense (3.5-ish), iron-bearing composites are denser (4.5-ish), and that's about the extent of my geological knowledge.
