Hi List,
According to the same Catalogue that Sterling quoted, "Marv Kilgore has the main mass of the Vermillion (Kansas) pyroxene pallasite". But what I find to be courious, is that there are larger masses in other collections.
And according to Dave Wier, "Vermillion may be more confidently considered to be genetically related to members of the low-Au division of the IAB iron-meteorite complex".
In any case, the name "Vermillion" is now taken. So even if the "Indiana Iron" were recovered, it would have to get a different name.

Greetings. While checking out different web sites on Indiana meteorites, I came across the Indiana University, Indiana Geological Survey website, and they state that an Iron meteorite fell in Vermillion, Indiana around 1883-84, which would make that 13 Indiana meteorites. I have never heard of this meteorite and only thought that there was 12 meteorites that fell or where found in Indiana. Any other info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Dave
