I find it remarkable that this guy inquired about a non-documented Virginia
fall just two days before the very real, very documented Lorton, Virginia
fall. What are the odds?

For what it's worth:
There are two finds in Allegheny County, near Pittsburgh, PA. They are:
The Pittsburgh, Coarsest Octahedrite, 6.99% Ni, found in 1850;
The Bradford Woods, Olivine achondrite, 3% metallic iron, found in 1886.
By the way, anyone know where I can purchase any of these? I know that Yale
college had the only known piece of The Pittsburgh. Most of it was wrought
into an iron bar.
Also, if anyone knows where I can get a piece of the other 6 known
Pennsylvania meteorites, I would greatly appreciate this info. They are:
Mount Joy
Bald Eagle
The Serewsbury
New Baltimore
Chicora
Black Moshannon Park

Thanks Jason.
The material I saw listed Allegeny County in Virginia/West
Virginia.
Sounds like the same character though. Interesting tales.

Regardless, the MetBull shows nothing after 1950 in either
state.
I'm curious to learn where this guy got his info.
