What I=B9ve heard thus far is that one night in 1903 some men heard their horses go a little crazy. In the morning, ther= e was a broken fence rail and a hole in the ground that the horses would not go near. A 25lb meteorite was pulled from the hole. Apparently, this stone sat around somewhere for some length of time. At a later time, the stone was sliced and it was discovered that it was actually a Plainview specimen except that it was discovered miles of the 1917 Plainview strewnfield. Any citations or sources of information would be helpful. Cheers and thanks, Martin --B_3085112520_158281 Content-type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Plainview, TX fall information wanted</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FONT FACE=3D"Helvetica">Hi All,<BR> <BR> I am looking for information about the suspected sort-of-witnessed fall of = the Plainview, Texas meteorite.
