The following was copied and pasted from Meteoritical Bulletin Database:
One badly weathered specimen was struck by the blade of a bulldozer at a depth of about 0.8 meter when the land was being leveled to make irrigation possible. The specimen was broken into many pieces by the bulldozer blade. The pieces lay elevan years by the field gate. Possibly as much as 20 kg. of fragments were carried away during this time by persons visiting,the farm. The original specimen may have weighed as much as 65 kg.
