Hi Phil, Harrison County was a shower and only 4 stones were recovered totaling 680 grams.. Residents in the area heard many stones hitting the ground and crashing through trees. No doubt that many others stones fell and were never recovered. I would guess that stones are still intact as many Pultusk H5 stones are being recovered in Poland from that 1868 fall.

A geologist told them it was a meteorite because it attracts a magnet and has chondrule like formations. I was told it had flakes of metal but I couldn't see them in the photos. Any ideas? There's another guy in southern Indiana who believes he found another piece of Harrison County, an L6 that fell in 1859. Wouldn't that be pretty much eroded away by now, even if it was shocked like NWA 869?
