[meteorite-list] New Kansas Meteorite!

[Moni Waiblinger-Seabridge]

Hi All,

what a fantastic find!
Kackley meteorite? Hm?

Congratulations to the finder!
When will you find out how old it is?

Too bad there isn't a yellow brick road in California!
Why all those great meteorites in Kansas?  ;-)

With best regards
and wishing all of you Happy Holidays,
Moni
