ROOSEVELT COUNTY 102
Roosevelt County 102. This
beautiful meteorite was found in 1989 in Roosevelt County, New Mexico. A farmer found single complete 100% fusion crusted stone in his
field. He thought it might be a meteorite, so he put it on his porch
for 9 years. When the Portales Valley meteorite fell in 1998, I took
out adds in the local newspapers and this guy called me. I bought the
meteorite on the spot. It was a single stone that weighed 8,347 grams.
These pieces are all I have left of this meteorite. Roosevelt county
102, is a chondrite (L5).
