Count Deiro inquires:

"Have you, or any others on List, found a fossil meteorite in situ?"

Considering the high degree of terrestrialization of Ordovician/fossil meteorites
(usually the chromite content is the only hint it once was meteoritic) and also
considering the extremely low number (5 or 6?) of fossil meteorites found so far,
it is highly unlikely a meteorite collector will ever find a fossil meteorite in situ.

Regards,

Bernd
