40lb meteorite pulled out of a ditch


A view of the Morrow County meteorite, showing the sculpted surface texture caused by passage through the Earth's atmosphere. The meteorite has a distinctive yellowish color caused by mild weathering on Earth. A portion of the meteorite at bottom right has been removed for study. At the top, another portion is missing, which was removed before Donald Wesson found the rock, possibly by a farm plow. Full Story. Credit: Portland State University
