Scientists and volunteers who've been searching for pieces of the 10-ton Buzzard
Coulee meteorite since last fall will soon get their hands on a 13 kilogram
fragment found by a farmer.

Hundreds of fragments have been gathered by planetary scientist Dr. Alan
Hildebrand, graduate student Ellen Milley and volunteers since the meteorite
fell in a rural area near Lloydminster Nov. 20, 2008.

Fragments gathered from this find have now broken the record for meteorites
recovered from a single incident and the largest piece found to date will be
donated to researchers on Monday.

Local landowner Alex Mitchell found a 13 kg meteorite and will be handing over
his find to Hildebrand and Milley on Monday.
