There was a fireball in the area a few years prier to the find in the orchard. There is VERY little rust and the fusion crust is intact. When I got the specimen, I also received the original paperwork that King and Van Buckwald did on the specimen. As far as I know, there are three specimens. The main mass (1.6kg), 104.4g in TCU and the rest in Johnson Space Centre. I will post some picts of the piece if anybody is interested. Received on Thu 05 May 2005 03:36:49 PM PDT |
