Thank you to everyone that expressed there opinion on my find. Opinions
are about 60/40 in favor of it being a meteorite. I've mailed a slice to the
Field Museum in Chicago for evaluation. Should have an answer in about six
months.

Cheers,
Jim K

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to get your valued opinion on my latest Illinois farm field find.
 
The stone is 8.76g and appears to have fusion crust, chondrules and metal
flakes. Streak test leaves no streak and it has a density of 3.59. The
vugs
have me concerned. Pictures are posted on the Meteorite Junction.
