A 5-element puzzle piece! In the roll-over, note the scale cube (circled in red) surrounded by the pieces. Mike awards a bonus to anyone who can find the bullet slug :)

Michael writes:
Probably an H-chondrite, paired to other finds from the Stewart Valley dense collection area.

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!
