mt and List,
Take a look in the Jensen Brother's book, (Anne too) "Meteorites from A to
Z", and you will see it listed as Calloway County, Kentucky. Concurring is
Ken Regelman's book, " ARN's History of Meteorites."

The "Catalog of Meteorites" 1985 edition from Arizona State University also
lists the location of this fall as Calloway County, Kentucky.

Looks like there's a typo in the Catalog of Meteorites.


Best,
JKGwilliam
