Adam, et al.:

Here's another piece to the puzzle. I just received one of the now =
well-known micros from Steve Arnold, and wasted no time putting it under =
my stereo microscope. It is mostly fusion crust, and appears to be =
quite metaliferous.
More to the point, it has a very small -- but striking -- cluster of =
black/dark-brown glassy spherules which appear identical in color and =
texture to the material shown in the images accompanying your email.

If I have the story straight, Steve collected these fragments from the =
Winslow Street impact site, so neither shingles nor tar paper were =
involved. Whatever this stuff is, it seems associated with the fusion =
crust. Others may want to more closely examine appropriate pieces for =
similar occurrences.
