"And now for something completely different!"

MikeG makes a good point about exercising "caution".
This was discussed here a long time ago:

and most recently I've updated my articles on this subject, all in an effort to determine the composition of these man-made materials (essentially "iron silicide") and whether there are any dangerous contaminants in these "ferro-manganese" meteor-wrongs:
