Very nice puzzle. It is rewarding to piece them back together. Over Christmas my father and I visited the Utas family and we brought all our Coyote specimens (100"s) and had a puzzle a-thon.
The end result was gratifying when we miraculously connected two large pieces together in a tight fit. We all cheered and laughed High fives all round. It was Great fun. Now if only my Primm would cooperate. Nice finds Mike. |

Thanks, guys. Great info, Bob, thank you. I'll bring it to the next gathering for further examination.
The slug is down near the bottom of the pict at 5 o'clock from the scale cube. |

After having examined over 900 meteorite finds from Stewart Valley (mostly fragments) I can say with better than 95% certainty that Mike's puzzle stone is paired to the other H6 chondrites from that DCA. Although many of these found fragments must fit together, it is very rare to find a cluster that forms a puzzle piece as nice as the one that Michael found. |

or is that the larger piece of the stone? Would love to have found this one! |

middle left (lower item)? 20mm or .50bmg starting to open like an umbrella? |
