Stony Iron Meteorites - historic specimens (Ref: 15.1-695)

Estherville, Emmet County, Iowa, Iowa, United States
26mm x 17mm x 15mm
minID: N8F-19M
Historic Meteorites with impressive provenance. From George.F. Kunz collection to Amherst college to Warren Johansson (in 1931). Three fragments of Iron meteorite total weight of 19.9 grams, the largest 2.6 CM across, these each have a distinctly different look, a very interesting suite. From the famed May 10th 1879 fall at Estherville, Iowa. Two of the pieces have had some areas revealing the bright metallic interior. This was a witnessed fall and was quite reknowned at that time. The historic accounts seen on line differ in many details (like this was a 744 pound mass or a 455 pound mass). All accounts do agree this was an exploding meteorite and a spectacular event. Verified fragments are quite rare and well valued.
