Hi all,

I recently bought meteorites during in Morocco. Those are my first ones and
since I've read about the debate around NWA meteorites. I understand how it's
damageable for science not to know the strewn field. I'll probably won't buy the
next ones but rather hunt for them :).

I have pictures of the first one, would someone care to give me his opinion?
 From what I've seen on many sites, I think this is one but I would like
confirmations.

You can have a look at it at the following url :

Next step would be to have it analysed properly but I've heard that it can be
tough to convince the expert to do so. Any advices ?

Thanks in advance,
