Hi, meteorite list -

I've got a question for you. I've been approached for help in   
liquidation
of an estate (in Texas), which has two iron masses labelled  as  
meteorites.
But no information on where they came from. Photos  attached below.

They look a lot like irons, and I'm  comfortable with a Ni test to  
tell them
from terrestrial  iron.

But -- any suggestions on how to tell which iron  meteorite they  
might be?
To my untrained eye, they look a lot like  Canyon Diablo. Anyone had this
type of question come up  before?

Thanks for your  help.

They could be Odessa meteorites.
 
After all you are in Texas, and so is the collection.
