   The meteorite name was called Helt Township, and it
fell in the County of Vermillion in Indiana. There is
even a small book written on it. You can find it
listed on this website
"http://igs.indiana.edu/geology/extraTerrestrial/meteorites/
index.cfm"
It even has a picture of it with numbers. They look
like they could be R-9276. ??? I must find out more!!!
