Hi Ron and all,

The Willamette Meteorite, at nearly 16 tons the largest ever found in the United
States and the sixth-largest in the world, apparently also rode the flow. It was
identified near West Linn south of Portland in 1902 and resides at the American Museum
of Natural History in New York City.


Does that mean the Willamette is Canadian Cultural/Heritage Property??? :-)
