Hello Brad and list,

from the New Catalogue:

----------------------
Parma Canyon 43=B048'N, 110=B000'W
Ada County, Idaho, USA
Find 1940, April 2
Iron: Octahedrite, possibly
Approx.recovered weight: 2.15 kg

A mass of 2.15 kg was found, F.C. Leonard (1947). The above latitude and
longitude cited by Leonard, are those of Parma, which is in Canyon Co.,
not Ada Co.; there is evidently some confusion.
