Hello All,
The 3.4kg stone was recovered in March or April -- that's when the
first media photos surfaced. Despite its early recovery, it does seem
to be somewhat weathered; Novato may help to explain that. The
impact-melted portions of that meteorite showed significant rusting
after only 10 days in the field, while the rest of the meteorite
looked quite fresh. I'd personally wait for bigger chunks; if a
several-hundred pounder did made it to the lake, it means that
fragments of all sizes in-between (and perhaps larger) should exist
(and will eventually be found?). That said, the 3.07kg stone is a
beaut, and finding a nicer one would be tough regardless of what comes
to light. We'll see...
Regards,
Jason

I also wonder if anyone from the list for fun has taken a NWA XXX stone and dropped it in water and watched what happened to the stone over time?
