To my eye, only #6 looks remotely meteoritic. All of the
others have surface textures or holes that are strong
counter-indicators against extraterrestrial origin. Thanks
for posting!

I've got some good meteorwrongs that I've collected myself
over the last couple years. I'll try to scan in a few images
of the better ones and send them your way at some point.

Best,
Rob
