Hi Dennis, Ruben and all,
I checked out some of my Nininger books but didn't find any info
either. Looks like most of the material is at the Field Museum. There
are some smaller specimens (cut from the one stone that fell) in a
couple of other collections including Nininger's.
Fell February 1st, 1938 around 5 p.m. local time. Perhaps talking to
the places that have part of the specimen might yield some more
information. Some research is in order to find out more about this
fall! Best and good luck!

Hi,
Aztec NM is my home town. I grew up there, I even graduated high
school in
Aztec. So, I have always wondered about where exactly that stone
fell.
Unfortunately, I never could find out much. Good luck.

Hello, All! Living just 8 miles from Aztec, NM, thought that I
might do a
little
fragment hunting. I have a few questions, though. First, I have
read that
Harvey Nininger sent his wife, Addie, to Aztec to purchase the
only stone.
Does anyone know who she purchased it from? Second, what was the
flight path? And finally, does anyone have a small piece for
sale?
Thanks!

P.S. Also looking for a piece of Four Corners meteorite.
