I believe at least Albion and Colton are from the
Palouse area. The area is mostly agricultural and rolling hills that are
pretty much silt dunes. If you find a rock out in the middle of most of
the fields, it probably fell out of the sky. I wonder if someone were to
spend some time stopping by the farm houses what one could scare
up?
Best Regards,
Phil

Certainly!
There are only 6 of them (I am
glad you didn't ask for Texas or New Mexico)

Albion Fine octah. Found in 1966, 1 mass,
12.28kg
Colton Medium octah. Found in 1993, 1 mass,

This is
odd! no ordinary chondrites!
And you need a copy of "Meteorites
from A to Z". :-)
