Good question. I guess this one slipped under the radar, so to speak.
So, no offense to the Peabody Nat. Museum, but who verified it? If it
was the curator of Central American Antiquities, then I'll wait for
further verification.
Best regards,

Yale scientists confirm rock that hit Wolcott house was meteorite, might
have caused Friday 'boom'
WOLCOTT — A rock that caused damage to a Wolcott home over the weekend has
been confirmed by the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History as a meteorite.
Peabody spokeswoman Melanie Brigockas said it was determined to be one of
the most common types of meteorites, ordinary chondrite.
The meteorite has a thin, black crust from burning as it entered the Earth's
atmosphere, and a light grey interior, according to a Peabody release.
Larry Beck called the Police Department Saturday morning to report that a
rock crashed through his roof Friday night.
Although it had not been confirmed as such, “all indications say that it is
probably a meteorite,” said Police Chief Edward Stephens earlier Tuesday. He
said, after comparing pictures of actual meteorites to the rock in question,
“it does appear to be a meteorite.”
