Feb 25th: Texas Meteorite Expedition: Day 4 First Meteorite Found!

After much researching, searching, collaborating, driving, and some luck, ten days after a meteorite fell to Earth in West Texas I found my first piece of the newest known meteorite fall in the world!It’s a nice little fragment of this beautiful chondrite. Gorgeously fresh fusion crust and a spectacular whitish gray matrix.

Here’s a few photos:

    Eric,
    I have found many meteorites including a cold find that will need to be classified. I just want you to know that I’m jealous, and wish I were in West, Texas with the chance to save fresh specimens from the plow and oxidation. Good luck, and good hunting.
