Hello Mohamed,

I read your website carefully. I regret to advise you that the rocks =
you describe in no way resemble any known meteorite. Meteorites do not =
contain fossils, nor is that a possibility. They do not have the =
petrologic characteristics you describe. May I suggest you refer to some =
of the meteorite websites and look at the descriptions of different =
classes of meteorites. I can appreciate your excitement and interest, =
and with this, you may very well someday find a meteorite. Many with a =
keen eye and who take the time, as you have done, do find meteorites =
eventually, but what you describe is not a meteorite and selling as such =
would constitute wrongdoing.

I hope you do have success in the future, Here is a link to just one of =
the many fine websites devoted to meteorite identification.
