Metallurgical and Compositional Analysis of Unidentified Metallic Fragments

We collected unidentified metal fragments from a remote desert location in Utah characterized by petrified sand dunes and exposed rock formations. The material appears as scattered metal chips distributed across the surface over a wide area, with no visible mountains or known industrial activity nearby. Volcanic debris has been logically ruled out based on geographic context. The objective of this request is to determine the material’s elemental composition, metallurgical characteristics, and possible origin. Project scope and analytical depth are flexible and contingent upon cost considerations.
