Th= anks >=20 Hi Brad, I have tried to find out more about this specimen in the past, but to no avail. It seems that even though one of the show pieces in the Smithsonian=B9= s display is from Idaho, the other irons from here are rather illusive. Even the locations of the finds are somewhat confusing. Of the meteorites listed from Idaho in the purple-book (formally known as the blue-book), Hayden Creek was a tiny iron possibly paired with a Montana specimen called Livingston; Idaho, another iron, is from an unknown localit= y and weight, and chemically appears quite similar to Canyon Diablo; Jerome, = a stone found in 1954 has not been fully classified (but it did pose with Chase the cat for the Meteorite Millennium Calendar); Oakley, Idaho=B9s most famous meteorite is a beautiful IIIF 111kg iron found in 1926; Wilder, an H= 5 found in the same (possibly?) county as Parma Canyon, was ploughed up in 1982 and is also featured in the Meteorite Millennium Calendar. So as Parma Canyon goes, all I can tell you is good luck. Are you on to something?
