TKW 24.5 kg. Fall not observed. Found Winter 1971, approximately 6 km southwest of Salaices, Chihuahua, Mexico.

From the MetBul:
A Mexican farmer found the complete stone in his field in the winter of 1971. It was shown to Mr. David Lange along with Allende, Mexico, meteorite specimens on April 9, 1971 while he was visiting the area to purchase Allende specimens.


 


Paul writes:
This specimen is in the lower level of the Flandreau Planetarium on the campus of the University of Arizona, along with many other meteorites and a wonderful collection of mineral specimens.
