Professor Jonathan Emery of William and Mary college, has discovered the
aerolite which fell in Washington county, September fourteenth 1883.
Professor Emery says it is the largest aerolite on record, and weighs fully
two hundred tons. Its composition is chromium, nickel, aluminum, copper,
magnesium and tin.
