Uncommon meteorites

I believe it is good to look at as many different types of meteorites in order to properly hunt for them, If we are only looking for the most common types we WILL pass up some really rare or possibly new types. I have compiled these photos from various sites online. If you have some images of an unusual meteorite please send it to me at illinoismeteorites@gmail.com so I can post them here, I will give you the credit for the photo.
