Here is a link to a story of an OR man finding a meteorite on the roadside 11ys ago and after wathching a show on meteorites took it to get tested and it turns out to be a meteorite that landed between 200 and 800 years ago. They said it was pristine, I think if it would have landed that long ago in OR it would have been quite weathered. Also I dont see it sitting on the roadside for very long, unless it is an unmarked road used for farming or something.
 Anyone heard anything more on this?
