Peter, I think MikeG. wrote a very kind reply trying to help you out. And he's correct, there are no granite meteorites. You would do well to follow his advice. My own opinion is that you have some low resolution photos of rusty rocks which I'm doubtful are meteorites. You'll need to shoot higher

I need not be cautioned. There are plenty of liars, or, otherwise, misinformed persons in the world, feasibly, and that is about as scientific a truth as one can get. All your various claims about metal flecks, scratch tests being necessary are plainly fallacious, hence your conclusions based on

Mike, I think your approach is great for novices. I know that not only you but many professional meteoricists have your hardline, barely logical, if so, preconceived, paper form reply, when, of course, it is an odd inheritor of the mantle of people who once said meteorites did not even exist,

Hi Peter, It's hard to tell from the photos, but I do not see any outward signs that would suggest these rocks might be meteorites. I do not see any fusion crust, and what I do see is probably desert varnish. Desert varnish forms on all rocks, not just meteorites. Have you done a streak test
