Can anyone give me some reviews, the two is my best pick. I'm a self taught Meteorites hunter, but not a petrologist. Tq.

What are the specific characteristics or each rock that lead you to believe they may be meteorites?

Time for iced espresso.

1. It has thin black shiny fusion crust.
2. It has very fine rollover lips showing orientation of fall.
3. Presence of dark shocked veins in the form of spiderweb.
4. I tested 1cu cm of pulverized sample for iron, I got 25% sticking to a magnet.
Both also contains as much iron, and also chondrules and melt mark of ablation.

What strewn field were they found in? What are other known samples from the strewn field? I don't see Regmaglypts. Also, look at the "Oriented" meteorite below and its markings. You very well could have a meteorite, I just am not convinced.:skullflag:

img_20160723_1337471.jpg sorry, Stony Meteorite seldom shows regmaglypts or thump print mark.
Rock 1 top view. On top is a box of 16 stick cigarettes for mass comparison. This mud rock convinced me of extreme spallation with its right side striked by air blast and fragmented rocks over half of the surface with at least 3 different materials coming from the same direction.3 almost parallel dark shocked veins run through the entire length of 2.5 meters.

This is a terrain image of the landscape I'm working on, the red dot is the location of the buried Crater, yellow and blue are my strewnfield​s.
