Being from the area I can only express two things:
1. It's definitely the most exciting thing to ever happen in Northallerton
2. I am so unbelievably green with envy.

Will a meteorite be hot when it lands? I would think so, but I'm sure I read
something that it isn't.
Already rusty?
Hows her foot feel? Not part of the crater?

Sorry Ian, but there is a good reason why Brahin is only a dollar a gram on ebay - it is nothing but crap. Unfortunately you get what you pay for. If you want a beautiful stable pallasite, buty Esquel or Imilac. Luckly your specimen was not too big so you probably did not pay much for it.

In general, a meteorite will remain intact on impact (or only
crack into large fragments) if it hits a hard surface at a speed
