Hello Geoff, Mark and all, Anyone notice on the Wikipedia article the image of the Wisconson meteorite that "fell" in 1868? Click on the image and it shows a gentleman (Increase Lapham) examining it. Unfortunately, no meteorite fell in Wisconson in that year. The meteorite in question is probably one of the Trenton iron meteorites (IIIAB) that were found in Wisconson in 1858. Vernon County is the only Wisconson fall (1865) that fell prior to Lapham's death but the meteorite pictured in the Wikipedia page is much larger than either of the 2 Vernon County stones that fell.
