In "Find a Falling Star", Nininger relates an anecdote about Dr. Sternberg of
Fort Hays who had been a fossil hunter for thirty years. He had never found a
meteorite, but not long after being coached by Nininger, as to how to recognize
them, he found two.

They've been terrestrialized. I quote: "From observations of those that are
known to have lain in the soil a mere twenty to fifty years we may surmise that
a 60-million-year-old specimen might appear as a rather ordinary concretion, if
indeed it was distinguishable at all from its surroundings."
