Nick's description (the following originally appeared at "http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~gessler/10-december-2000.htm"):The chondrite is 16.50 grams, about the size and shape of the meat in a
Brazil nut. It's completely fusion crusted except for the two ends which
were broken off some time in flight, as the crust laps over the edge of the
larger break. The fusion crust is grayish black, probably somewhat
sandblasted, with a few expansion cracks evident. It was rather
aerodynamically curved, in sharp contrast to the vesicular basalt and other
angular rocks on the lake bed. And it was sitting, its most stable flat
side down, right on the surface, stuck only 1 or 2 mm into the silt. A
small window indicates sharply delineated chondrules, minute and sparse
metal flecks, and one troilite "chondrule" in the face.
The coordinates were:
N nnd nn.666m
W nnnd nn.891m
