[meteorite-list] How Many Meteorites Are Hidden on Farmland?

[bill kies]

Pleasant article. Very little hype of the sort we are often inundated with. The only thing that I found disappointing was the lack of information pertaining to the rock/meteorite itself.

Kinda looks like a pallasite but that's just a silly guess, I guess ; since it's only based on a glance. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bill

How Many Meteorites Are Hidden on Farmland?

In early May, with corn already up, Bruce Lilienthal spotted a large rock jutting halfway out of his heavy, black dirt. He dug out a 16” long, 10” wide and 2” thick specimen weighing an unseemly 33 lbs. Unknown to Lilienthal, he’d harvested the single most unique item in his farm’s history: a meteorite.
