In which case one should photograph the suspect in it's original location and use a sat nav to get accurate coordinates.

I highly recommend the book "Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites" by O. Richard Norton and Lawrence A. Chitwood.
Thanks Jeanette.

It's interesting that the samples were found in two remote locations, each location has been marked using GPS. So it's possible there is more stuff to be discovered.
Fortunately I have connections in Victoria so getting a sample tested for free shouldn't present any problems.
