Interesting Norton piece Bob and well worth looking at the pics folks.
I was recently lucky enough to obtain a couple of nice Norton County pieces
and found that I was quite surprised by them. I didn't know what I'd been
missing all these years... it's a fascinating and unique meteorite!
Certainly well worth reading up on.
Cheers,
Jeff
