Potential meteorites from Morocco and Sahara

[marshall]

Good evening everyone!

I've recently been to Morocco for a well-deserved holiday and whilst there picked up a number of stones that I suspect may be meteorites. As confident as I am, I think it might be worth seeking the opinions of those with greater experience and/or knowledge!

All of the rocks below are highly attracted to a magnet and leave no significant streaks when tested. I've cut samples ready to go to Meteor Lab in New England. I've tried to get a decent picture of a freshly cut surface in each case.

I can only apologise for the poor quality of the photos but I only have my mobile phone camera to hand.

So, without further ado...

1) 324.8g


2) ~1800g


3) 50.4g


4 & 5) 50.9g & 57.4g


6) 45.6g


7) 46.4g


8) 301.7g


9) 414.7g


10) ~900g


Thanks for taking the time everyone! Here's hoping at least one isn't a meteorwrong...

I've collected for over 30 years, but I'm no authority. And judging from photos is tough at best. So, just experienced guesswork here. 1-3 look good, 4, maybe, 5, don't think so, 6 and 7 look maybe, 8, don't think so(because of the vesicles), 9, maybe, 10, don't think so. You have meteorites there in all likelihood, and these are just "photo eyeball" guesses, not the best way to judge, to say the very least. You're sending samples to a good man....

Remember, you have better reasons for your confidence then I have confidence judging from your photos. It won't surprise me if they are all good. Good luck....
