It is time for me to stir up some more controversy. From all I've seen, Park Forest really doesn't look like meteorite. Only the black parts seem to have fusion crust and it doesn't look as shiny and glazed as you would expect. The grey parts either don't have any crust at all, or it chipped away on impact. They seem to be rough and angular instead of smooth and contoured.
Matt Morgan's slice photos are terrific and they plainly show the two different colored materials. Chondrules are clearly visible. It is a very interesting meteorite on the inside, but It is a good thing it was a witnissed fall in a populated area. If it fell in this rockpile we call Arizona without witnesses, I don't think it would ever be found.
