A single mass of 57.9 kg was found in a landfill at  Julesburg.

- examination of main mass suggests three  smaller
individuals have spalled during ablative  flight

Thank you Bernd.
According to "Meteorites from A to Z" and Blaine Reed, there is more. 
So I just called Blaine, who was watching the snow fall, and he told  me he 
believes that about half a dozen small individuals  have been found in the area 
by the local farmers over the years.
Maybe  more will show up in the future.
