[meteorite-list] 4.6 billion-year-old meteorite found in horseshoe footprint

[Graham Ensor]

It's a miracle this delicate CM2 survived 3 weeks in a field full of horses
and muddy ground. I was with Derek when he called me over and asked what I
thought of the muddy stone deep in the bottom of the footprint. The only
way you could tell it was a meteorite was because it had been broken by the
horses hoof and part of the pristine black centre was showing. I was
astounded. Just a tiny part of the irridescent crust showed on one edge
through the mud coating that confirmed to me what it was. I have a small
part of it now in my collection. A magical moment in hunting for
Winchcombe. Derek also captured the meteor and it's spectrum on his all sky
camera and got the permissions to hunt that area. A wonderful story for him.
