Hello Mike:
It seems strange that the Sinagua people venerated an unusual achrondite
(metachondrite) meteorite stone when they were so close to the Canyon Diablo
crater and strewnfield. Surely they noticed how different the iron
meteorites were from other local rocks. Yet they chose to bury
Hi Phil,
Exactly! I thought the same thing about Bonita Springs. A big
100-pound lump of rock that isn't pretty, isn't covered in peridot
crystals or shiny iron. Bonita was transported to a mound (pre-Calusa
in all likelihood) at a time when horses had not been introduced by
the Europeans yet.
What about the Grayton Beach stone which was found in a native midden
(garbage dump)!

Forgive me if this is an insensitive question, I don't mean any
disrespect. Is Harold still with us? I couldn't find anything on the
web to answer that. Oddly, he doesn't have a Wikipedia entry and he
seems deserving of one.
Best regards,
