[meteorite-list] Possible Meteorwrong

[Larry Atkins]

I couldn't load the first picture but the second image of the exterior
looks like a weathred chondrite chunk. The last image seems to show
distinct chondrules.

I'm guessing meteo right.

I was sent these pictures of a possible meteorite find in southern
Indiana.It's hard to tell from the blurry pictures, but it looks like
iron
oxide. A geologist told them it was a meteorite because it attracts a
magnet
and has chondrule like formations. I was told it had flakes of metal
but I
couldn't see them in the photos.

Any ideas?

There's another guy in southern Indiana who believes he found another
piece
of Harrison County, an L6 that fell in 1859. Wouldn't that be pretty
much
eroded away by now, even if it was shocked like NWA 869?
