Eric,
I suggest that you contact Dr Paul Baki of the Department of Physics,
University of Nairobi - pb...@mail.uonbi.ac.ke. He might be able to
help, and he's "in country".

If anyone want's to follow this up I can forward contact details. I
don't wan't to post there email

chipped off for analysis.

Dear People,
My neighbor, Mr Jarvis Njoroge (pictured) says that he retrieved a
whitish
rock in Kitengela, about 40 km south east of Nairobi, Kenya, from maasai
herdsmen who say it fell from the sky.
There're no other rocks of that type in the area. It looks burnt on the
edges and is probably a shard of something bigger. Might it be a
meteorite?
I have pictures of it and will be happy if you could guide me on where
to send them.
Thanks for your time,
Kariuki Kiragu,
Nairobi, Kenya
