Additionally, the article is somewhat misleading on the actual appearance of the specimen. The MetBul listing for the meteorite describes it more appropriately as being brown and rusted.

One hundred years laying outdoors in that humid climate and it's still "black and gleaming"? Wouldn't it have rusted?
