I have just found at the bottom of a drawer a lump of charred material given to me by a friend who says it was picked up from a beach in St. Lucia before NASA came to retrieve the rest of the debris. He says that it comes from an SRB. Has anyone any information as to which flight this is likely to be from?

The debris was washed up on a beach in St. Lucia in December 2000 and is said to be from a SRB following a shuttle launch.

As stated in my original posting I'm curious as to know which shuttle and where from the SRB the debris is likely to have come from.

The piece is not as blue as in the photos. but is a very dark grey, almost black.
