Meteorites From Kansas

In July of 2007, I was fortunate to go with my father to Greensburg, Kansas, and locate two Brenham Pallasite meteorites. It was unlike any other treasure hunt I have ever been on. The method of locating these babies is somewhat unusual and it is extremely laborious work to extract them from being buried five feet in the rock hard Kansas sod. For the full story check out my website.

The first one was only 20 inches down and I suspect it had been knocked around with a plow blade and been through many freeze and thaw cycles because it was a shattered, rusted mess. All the pieces weighed 30 pounds though.

The second one was a pristine specimen and weighed in at 31 pounds. I guessed its weight perfectly.
