Hello all

answer from the dealer:


it was found in a parking lot behind several stores
within 1/4 mile distance
from the one than crashed through the house. I t has
been weathered for
10-days which accounts for the rust. If you are an
expert then can you
e-mail me some pictures. This is highly attracted to a
magnet. I would
gladly refund anyone who purchased this item if it
proved to not be part of
the park forest meteorite. I'm not an expert but it
looks very similar to
other fragments that people have been selling.

mr.Joe Vergoin
