Thankyou very much Shawn. Hope there are plans for display in Chambers St. Did anything ever come of the following story I am wondering. Was it part of the 1830 fall or did it turn out to be a new find or an m.w.? http://news.stv.tv/tayside/193361-meteorite-rocks-believed-to-be-worth-1m-f ound-in-potato-field/
