Wow I think this is the first time I've actually seen someone post a REAL meteorite on this forum (other than what Frank posted recently)... VERY nice! I saw in another post you sold it to a Geologist, any idea if he got it classified? If so do you know what the classification was on it? Also you might want to think about heading back out to the location where you found that and search for more... With chondrites that big there's a good chance there's more to find. Congrats thats a REAL beauty!

Del,

I don't know if he got it classified, but I'm sure he did and he also told me to go back where i found this one and look for more because they usually fall in clusters, he also put a add there in the local paper asking anyone if they have found any and to get it touch with him.
