Hi Bruce, After the fall on the Fausset home, Al Falster (ebay seller 'flabster'), a geologist from the University of New Orleans and a group of students collected impact fragments off the streets surrounding the residence. Since then, Al and others have been selling the small 'street' fragments on ebay. http://www.uno.edu/pegmatology/pub/meteor/meteor.html (photos) http://www.meteoritearticles.com/znpneworleans.html
