that is quite a plate size pallasite slice...only this one is more like "home plate" for baseball field. Very nice specimen Ann...good luck with finding its next home for show. |

Thank you. Yes, they didn't know what they had. And now you don't see it very often since most of it is in the Smithsonian. And this slice was cut right off that main mass some years ago, then Robert Haag got it in a trade, and now here it is. |

MERRILL G.P. (1903) A newly-found meteorite from Mount Vernon, Christian County, Kentucky (The American Geologist, March, 1903): The National Museum has recently come into possession of a heretofore undescribed meteorite from the farm of Capt. S.T. Fruit, in Mount Vernon township, about seven miles northeast of Hopkinsville in Christian county, Kentucky. The meteorite, which is a pallasite, has been known for some thirty-five years by the occupant of the premises, where it served as a convenient stone on which to clean his boots after crossing the muddy fields. |
