Meteorite hit Texas below Dallas. Is anyone there yet?

[White Feather]

On the news they said a meteorite hit somewhere about 60 miles below Dallas. Okay, who is near the impact point? Is anyone hunting for a piece of it?
Just wondering! Have fun and find lots of "Stuff"!!!

A dozen or so pro hunters have found many dozen small stones. Probably over 5 kilos worth.

I didn't go in person. But I did purchase some fragments from Michael Cottingham who found them in the field in West. Here is a photo of the fragments and the West newspaper he sent me.

Another closeup -

It's not visible in the photo because the piece is upside down, but the largest fragment has very fresh black fusion crust on one side - very small, but some of the freshest crust I have ever seen first hand. It's almost powdery, like coal dust.

Here's one guy who found some small, crusted ones who is currently having an ebay auction:

BEWARE! Those may not be real West Texas meteorites. They may not be meteorites at all. This seller is well-known in the meteorite community for selling questionable items. Buyer beware.

Yeah here's what the Ash Creek/West Texas meteorites really look like-

Enjoy!
