I believe there was a .3 gram Canadian find on a snow bank. It was only noticed
by virtue of the contrast and if I recall the finder was a technician/scientist
in the astronomy/space program field(???) walking out of his work to go home. I
don't know the name or where-abouts, I only recall reading the story. This
would so far as I know be the smallest find/fall single stone class ever
documented.
