roadside 11ys ago and after wathching a show on meteorites took it to 
get tested and it turns out to be a meteorite that landed between 200 
and 800 years ago. They said it was pristine, I think if it would have 
landed that long ago in OR it would have been quite weathered. Also I 
dont see it sitting on the roadside for very long, unless it is an 
unmarked road used for farming or something.
