Buzzard Coulee sure has a ring to it, I'm sure that will be the meteors name.
More pics on the net on the meteor.

There was another meteor find back in the 60's, known as the
Bruderheim meteorite, quite the find as this one had more than 700 fragments that were recovered. 303 kg of stones, ranging in size from 31 kg to 5 mg.
Rob, any idea on the size/weight of that Campo Del Cielo meteorite? I remember you were looking for a
meteorite a few years back. I meteor hype has me interested in getting a piece to display.
