The Gravity Shield by David Reynolds

“Melissa,” a security guard at the front entrance to the Field Museum in Chicago said when McAllister’s phone rang, “I’ve got a geezer down here who claims to have some Martian meteorites. What should I do with him?” “What the hell,” she said, thinking aloud, “I’m not going to get any more productive work done today anyway. Send him up, Harry.” “How do you know these are Martian meteorites?” she cynically asked the large man holding a 5-gallon bucket filled with reddish sand and rocks. "I was hoping you’d have one of them there mass spectrometers that could tell me—us—for sure,” the man known as Wooly Wally replied. Melissa didn't know it then but her life was about to be permanently changed when the museum's lab did the unthinkable: Wooly Wally was right: the bucket's contents were from Mars.
