I can confirm great damage to the big well location. The shed above the
well is half missing, the building itself looks like it is missing it's
roof. This was/is the location of the 1000 lb. Brenham. Due to the weight
of the specimen I image it is still there, hopefullly still in one piece.

A loss of only 90% to ablation during entry would be low. 95%-98% is

ablation models. That said, iron meteorites can potentially survive with
much less ablation

Loss of mass by ablation varies with the speed

It could be tough to find. If a dense rock like that was in a field and a

However, it was suspended in a building of comparably much lighter material
with a large surface area. Collectively, when the building was ripped
