[meteorite-list] Plainview article

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Pete, Tom and all,

Oscar Monning and Harvey Nininger referred to the hammer stone as the "Norfleet" stone and they considered it part of the Plainview (1917) fall, believing this 20-pound stone was the "lead" stone of the fall.  It landed on trend with the strewnfield and has the same brecciated H5 lithology.  It is just one of the 1000+ stones from the Plainview (1917) fall, which is its official name.  There are three other named Plainview meteorites; Plainview (1950), Plainview (c) and Plainview (d).  Additionally, there are other meteorites that have been found in the same county (Hale County), including Hale Center 1 and 2.  

Incidently I also have a nice slice of the hammer stone that I obtained a few years ago.

All the best,

Frank

PS: Sorry about the mis-spell last night.  It should have been Estacado.

There were two Plainviews, 1903 the actual hammer that hit and broke a rail of the 
corral, (I have pieces of both) and the later 1917 plainview.
