[QUOTE="Debbie K, post: 382543, member: 10510"] Hmmm, I'll have to find out what the laws are for collection in 1910 for the U.S. It fell and was collected on private land, so I [i]think [/i]it's legal. I am troubled by the irregular shapes of the rocks in the metallic looking stuff. They seem too sharp for meteorite material. There is a university in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area; about 300 miles away and another in Lubbock; 500 miles away, that do identification. I found a link last night to a person at NASA here in Houston that you can email, so I think I'll do that after I research the law. I have a friend that has a Raman spectroscope and that would probably tell me a lot about the composition of this thing, but she was affected by the flood and is still not living in her house. I think the Raman is okay, it was about 6" away from being submerged, but I believe it's in storage until they fix her house. Thanks for the input, I really do need to research the law.
