Yes, that may "unfortunately" be right. Much or most of it
may have been vaporized or been reduced to dust and what
has been collected may be comparable to what has been found
around Barringer Crater (Coone Butte) where any search for
the main mass down in the crater has so far remained futile!

.. sayeth Bernd who meanwhile owns two small but
representative pieces of that noteworthy meteorite ;-)
