Hi, The seller's mistake. It's a postcard of the famous Greensburg KANSAS Pallasite: http://www.bigwell.org/meteor.html
The photo on the page indicated above has the same individual pictured on the postcard in the recovery effort. Sterling K.

The database in fact for TN only has one real large puppy, the Cosby's Creek find from 1837. Two big chunks, one 907KG (first) one 50.8 (found later). So in tracking these two, I find some at the TCU (m104.4) collection and some at the Nat. Museum of History. So... does anyone have any further information on what might be called the Greensburg fall, or on the cosby's creek fall? Thanks.
