[meteorite-list] Al Haggounia 001 question

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi list,  This is Tom Phillips.  I  don't want to waist your time but I had a 
question concerning Al Haggounia  001.  I have read what has been written 
about the weathering state of Al  Haggounia 001 and it has been said that it is 
likely not fossil but rather a  highly water susceptible material (easily 
weathered) that resided in water for a  long time.  I know this is not a 
universally accepted scenario but one with  some significant credentials behind it! 

If this scenario was correct,  would it be possible for paired meteorites 
that did not spend time in water,  collected in roughly the same area, and 
looking like conventional moderately  weathered meteorites to be found?  High and 
dry ones?  The strewn  field is over 30 kilometers!

If you think I am nuts, OK,  but if you  think it is possible I am curious.  
What would or should it look  like?  Would it have a high magnetic attraction?

Thanks, Tom
