Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone might have some information regarding
something of an oddity that I came across recently.
It's an NWA iron, but...it's definitely a piece of shrapnel. I know -
many iron falls have shrapnel-esque shapes - so it's not *that*
unusual.
But this is a fragment of wh

Hi Dirk,
I have to agree with Richard -- I find no real fault with the article.
The stone pictured does indeed look like a meteorite from this fall.
"Just west of Mineral Point" is a perfectly believable meteorite
landing point, particularly if "just west of" means a couple miles.

Could this be why apparently so few stones have been found so far? The hunters

Not really - with every large, fragmented fall there are almost always
more smaller rather than larger stones.
In other words, while they may be at the "light" end of the

Jason is correct about there always being far more small stones than
