I met Mr. Roy Ballinger a number of years back and was able to talk with him about his find. While this material was buried deep in the ground, the matrix in the iron is tight and when I cut rusty pieces of this meteorite, it has not rusted on the inside after careful prep of the meteorite. An interesting find and story of recovery. |

Fairfield was originally classified as a IIICD iron (Catalogue of Meteorites, 5th ed., p. 198) but was then reclassified (or regrouped). |
