[meteorite-list] Aztec, NM Meteorite questions

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Hi Dennis, Ruben and all,

I checked out some of my Nininger books but didn't find any info 
either. Looks like most of the material is at the Field Museum. There 
are some smaller specimens (cut from the one stone that fell) in a 
couple of other collections including Nininger's.

Fell February 1st, 1938 around 5 p.m. local time. Perhaps talking to 
the places that have part of the specimen might yield some more 
information. Some research is in order to find out more about this 
fall! Best and good luck!
