I believe there was a .3 gram Canadian find on a snow bank. It was only noticed by virtue of the contrast and if I recall the finder was a technician/scientist in the astronomy/space program field(???) walking out of his work to go home. I don't know the name or where-abouts, I only recall reading the story. This would so far as I know be the smallest find/fall single stone class ever documented.
