Hi Juan,
The first thing I would do is to have it tested to make sure its and actual
meteorite. Since you're in NJ you can go, I"d suggest make an appointment,
with someone from the Rutgers Geology Museum in New Brunswick. I don't have
the phone number, but they are listed. If its an actual find you will need
to know EXACTLY where and when you found it.
Usually a piece is donated to a scientific organization like the Rutgers
Museum for further study. Price depends on how much is found. Of course
there is my 5 gram piece "information fee" :)
