Thanks for your comments.

There are definite signs of fusion crust on the back of the right hand object in the first image. Unfortunately it requires a macro image which is beyond the scope of my camera or I would have to cross section a sample.

Incidentally these samples are quite heavy for their sizes.

I'm thinking of testing the samples using X-ray spectroscopy.
I believe a high nickel content is a property for iron meteorites.

Regards

Steven
