[meteorite-list] Alleged Grand Canyon Meteorite Strikes

[Paul H.]

The section “Minerals from Spaces” (Pages 87-88),
Billingsley et al. (1997) recounts claims of reported 
meteorite strikes in the Grand Canyon.For example, 
they note that according to Huntoon (1989), a 
meteorite slammed into the north wall of Milkweed 
Canyon in either 1922 or 1924 across from a now 
abandoned village.
