Hi Phil,

Harrison County was a shower and only 4 stones were recovered totaling 680
grams..? Residents in the area heard many stones hitting the ground and crashing
through trees.? No doubt that many others stones fell and were never recovered.?
I would guess that stones?are still?intact as many Pultusk H5 stones are being
recovered in Poland from that 1868 fall.

Cheers,

Frank

I was sent these pictures of a possible meteorite find in southern Indiana.It's
hard to tell from the blurry pictures, but it looks like iron oxide. A geologist
told them it was a meteorite because it attracts a magnet and has chondrule like
formations. I was told it had flakes of metal but I couldn't see them in the
photos.

Any ideas?

There's another guy in southern Indiana who believes he found another piece of
Harrison County, an L6 that fell in 1859. Wouldn't that be pretty much eroded
away by now, even if it was shocked like NWA 869?
