It looks promising however like you said it's very blurry. Keep in mind also, meteorites are rare and the chances that this is a meteorite is very small, please don't be discouraged if it's not one. There are more out there in the deserts of NM somewhere. If you can get more photos of the other ones as well in Sunlight on a white background that would be wonderful! I'll give you my best guess... If I think they are meteorites I may want to analyze one to be sure it is in fact a meteorite. I'll do a physical analysis for free and if it turns out to be a meteorite then I can send it to a lab for verification and classification. First though we need better photos. ;) Talk to you soon. Regards, Eric Hi Josh, I received your photo via email.

I took a handfull home and they are iron (or another ferrous metal, they're currently sticking to my fridge with a magnet.). Is there a market for these? I have several in my possesion and know where there are potentially hundreds more...
