Hi Greg, I can think of two examples of mysterious specimens. One is Shirokovsky and the other is Mendota. Scientists are certain that both are not meteoritic, but yet, nobody can explain how either one was created. Such stones fall under the category of "We know what it isn't..." versus "we know what it is..."
