Mark,

Having done meteorite ID for years, I have "seen" a
lot of meteorwrongs that look like meteorites.

What I have learned is that one cannot say beyond a
shadow of a doubt that a specimen is a meteorite until
it is in hand.

Just because something "looks" like a meteorite in a
picture does not mean that it is in fact a meteorite.
It is amazing how many times I get samples from people
that say. "It looks exactly like" (a picture that has
no relationship to their find), and it turns out to be
a normal earth rock.

You need to have a certified astrogeologist look at
your finds.

LOL!

Hummm...

Until then I remain skeptical.
