It appears Kentucky has a new meteorite.

The Catalogue seems to have misplaced Murray (CM2). The Murray 
meteorite is listed as Calloway County, TX. 36 36 N, 88 6 W.  

This location is not even in Texas.  In fact Texas doesn't have a 
Calloway county.  Plotting the lat/longs on a homesearch give us:

88.1&Lat=36.6&w=1&ref=G|-88.1,36.6

Which is Calloway, Kentucky.  Which makes more sense.  Can 
anyone else confirm this strewnfield in in Kentucky?
