Hi Bernd and Listees,
                                                                         

                                                                         
                "A meteorite that was excavated in an ancient Arizona
ruin. It
was found wrapped in a feather cloth and [enclosed in] a stone cyst."

brackets [] are mine to question whether it was really 'on' or 'in'.

The Camp Verde, Arizona iron meteorite was found on an 800-year-old
Sinagua "altar," wrapped in a feather blanket and was probably
transported from Meteor Crater approximately 100 km to the northeast.

In 1915, a 135-pound iron meteorite was found in a Sinagua (c.1100-1200
AD) burial cyst near Camp Verde, Arizona, respectfully wrapped in a
feather cloth. referenced to Nininger's 1972 Catch [sic] a Falling
Star'.

Mr and Mrs H.H. Nininger once wrote: "You will see these strange
meteorites


Anyone care to give answers to these 22 pieces of information???
Maybe one answer per list member. Happy sleuthing!

Let me start with #1: "A meteorite that fell through a house roof in
Missouri
during WWI"

Well, that's "Baxter" ... like list member Jim Baxter ;-) Hi Jim, how
are you
doin'?

Baxter is an L6 chondrite of 611 grams that fell through the roof
of a house in Stone (!) County, Missouri, on Jan 18, 1616.

Cheers,

Bernd
