Eric,
I am posting this a second time since I didn't send it to the list as I had
intended.
Although I have seen meteorites this ugly, I am thinking Korra Korrabes, I
don't believe that any of these are meteorites. They appear to be artifacts
of iron prossessing, ie. slag.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Curious stones?
Hey all,
This is not a "is this a meteorite?" question
I've been going through cleaning out some boxes of NWA XXX meteorites and
I found some meteorites I forgot I had. All these stones are very highly
magenetic and snap hard to a neo mag.
PHOTOS: http://www.meteoritesusa.com/odd-stones.htm
The two broken and sliced pieces appear to be mesosiderite, and I have 5
other pieces that are 100% positive to be meso from this batch that I have
sliced and or sanded.
Anyone have any information on these pieces or seen any other meteorites
like them? Send me a link, information or photos if you do...The odd part
about the sliced and broken pieces are the hollow interiors of some of the
stones. I have reservations on some of these pieces about their meteoric
origin but there are some in this batch that are 100% mesosiderite.
What causes this? And if it's oxidation/corrosion why are they corroding
form the inside out?
Eric
