Hehehe....Johnny B should know better than to listen to me. ;-) That
story was conveyed to me by a person who lived in Adamana a few years
ago. He has since passed away. Also, it's the "Goodwater" area instead
of Goodman. Anyway, this gentleman told me that they used some of the
"old" railroad base as fill for their corral. I really don't think this
is the case now as that would be all cinders and the owners tell me
differently.

Bob Haag told me that the Adamana stone is an L6 and much older than the
Holbrook fall. But if it was in a horse corral with horses, seems as if
that would age a meteorite quite differently?
Still all just speculation for now.

The piece originated by a rancher who dug up some dirt at the Goodman exit area to spead in his barn or corrals. His ranch is in Adamana and the piece was discovered while spreading the dirt. It sat on a fence pole as a curiosity for quite some time before Bob bought it . The Adamana could be the nose cone to the Holbrook L6 strewnfield since that was the direction of the fall. Bob bieng very clever knows the piece has more value as an individual then as an oriented piece of a known fall !! I think !! Happy Huntin John B."
