Hi Greg, Interesting stones.
At first glance, my thoughts were - the first one looks like a terrestrial breccia, or a lunar. There is also a stone that looks a little like a brachinite and another that reminds me of a ureilite or carbonaceous type. How do these samples react to a magnet, streak test, etc?
