This area of the state was home to many late-19th/early 20th-century
zinc/lead mines. A major waste byproduct of that mining was marcasite (a
pyrite polymorph). Roasters were used to separate the iron sulfides from
the zinc sulfides, so there will be quite a bit of low-grade, iron-rich slag
out in the field.
Those that know meteorites won't be confused for a second. But I'd guess
we'll see a lot more of these "wrongs" before we're done.
