I have some material I found that looks just like that stuff, is there a picture of the back of that?

Good call, Anne. What an unusual meteorite. At 27kg, I'm surprised I never heard of this one before.

What I see are the tips of the four metal prongs holding this slice in the display case. Anyone else?
