I posted from my other email and it did not make it through for some reason.
I can not tell you how many people walked up to me and asked if they had a
meteorite. I saw a lot of this stuff. I will say (I hate doing this by
pictures) that this is not a meteorite.
The reason why is that this sample does have a surface and it's not fusion
crust. Also, if you look closely you can see fiber in it. This is an oiled
piece of road debris best I can tell. The CAI's are not "on the rock" they
are in it. So there are three clues, it's not a meteorite.

Hi all,
Here's an image of a 2.6 gram specimen of what is supposed to be the new
meteorite that's been offered to me . Have any of you been contacted by
this fellow as well? What do you think of this piece?
