Elton, I subsequently found the missing bit here... http://www.darrylpitt.com/willamette.html The article states that there is evidence of sampling elsewhere, and that science was again served when this meteorite was cut in 1997 and the end piece in question was removed. So twelve years ago

Mike, Your approach is a good one but some slag does not only look like some meteorites but some meteorites look like some slag. The two can in fact have very subtle differences. To that end I would not leave it up to a farmer to decide. It is well worth the trouble to let an informed observer

Hola, Well, I'd have to disagree. I wouldn't tell people to look for flecks of metal - small rounded bumps, maybe, but...it's very unusual to see metal on the broken surface of a chondrite. My only criticism would be that there is a small chance that the stone was carbonaceous or achondritic

Jason, Mike, Of course you're right about the metal flakes, the stone would have to be cut and polished to see them. (Duh! on my part). It would seem that if this was a big fall, at least one stone would have turned up by now. The Amish farmers with their slow moving horse drawn equipment

I know there are some assumptions i've made that could cause things to back fire. e.g. if this is not a west like stone this will not work. its a gamble, and the odds are in favor, but if it turns out not to be... this won't help. the fell from space thing is to add to excitement, but I agree its
