Hello Adam,
I can fairly agree with Bernd to identify your first unknown as Farmington (L5, br).
However there can be another alternative.
I have in collection (from TCU/Monnig) a complete slice of Springer (H6), 147 g, which closely resembles to the one you pictured, namely that also shows a similar "black night sky full of stars" (metallic patches) with a similar nice metallic vein (like a shooting star trace) crossing the etched surface.
Just another possibility from only a visual evaluation and from memory (I have not my collection on hand here to check better). It is thus worth for what it is (and, I agree, beware of visual comparisons!)
For the Cook collection and Harrissonville, I believe we should rely on Bernd who has an unvaluable set of (all kind of) data.
Hope this can put a little forward your investigation. Interesting...
All the best,
Zelimir

Dear List Members,
I was wondering if somebody on this List may be able to help me with some questions.
My first question is: Has anybody heard of the Cook Collection? I am asking because I purchased some specimens from Bob Haag and he lost track of this particular piece. He says it came from the Cook Collection and is not to be confused with the Australian Cook meteorite. He said this is a US piece that came from some place like Missouri or Kansas, he just can't recall. It appears to be a shock darkened, fresh chondrite with metal veining. This particular specimen weighs 373.8 grams and is a complete slice. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

My second question is in regards to the Harrisonville, Missouri L6 chondrite. I believe it was found as 14 separate specimens weighing in at 12.9 Kilos. I was wondering what the largest specimen weighs. I acquired the 801 gram specimen from Bob and was wondering main mass status? If this is not the main mass I may make it available to another well known and respected List member who expressed an interest in it.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide, Kind Regards,
