"....the 2.5 kilogram (5.5 pound) rock was identified as possibly belonging to a Brenham pallasite meteorite that fell in Kansas in 1882."

Not the best sentence structure... Are they saying that the 2001 find WAS a piece of Brenham, or just that it was a pallasite, SIMILAR to Brenham?


".... the latest find in Southampton looks as though it had been partially molten, perhaps from entering the earth's atmosphere or as a result of volcanic action on earth."

Or perhaps from a smelting operation that dumped its slag into the lake?

Hey, I hope it turns out to be a meteorite, but the odds of it happening twice, and the "molten" comments don't sound promising. Hey, at least they didn't say it was radioactive!
