[meteorite-list] Meteor fragment lands in UW-Madison geoscience department

[Steve Witt]

Joe and List,

If you look closely at the top of the stone that the Boudreaux boys found you can see characteristics similar to the stone that was at UW-Madison. I think the university stone just has more of the interior matrix showing.

Don't forget the Park Forest fall. With P.F. there were two distinct litholigies and I saw many stones that appeared to be from two completely different falls.

Regards,
Steve
