Absolutely agree Paul. Unless they can be verified by numerous independent eye witnesses, then stories like that are really no more verifiable than a child’s fantasies.
Furthermore, since stories are unreliable, and it hasn’t been officially classified yet, I don’t see any reason why it could not be a transported specimen from another known find. For example, the Trenton irons from Wisconsin. Not very far from Michigan at all... I suppose time will tell though. Cheers, John A.
