No one, NO ONE,on this or any other forum can tell you if you have a meteorite from your photos. Specimens look interesting, but could be Magnetite. Have them checked by your local college geology department.

Try a streak test. Magnetite, Hematite, and Meteorite all have slightly different shades of brown to reddish brown in color to help identify. This way is not full proof though because there are earth minerals like Goethite that are a mix of iron and other minerals that streak like a meteorite. Plus Goethite can also be found in meteorites too. I would agree with Terry on this one if you really wanted to know though!
