Writeup from MB 100:
Bunker Hill 38°50.9’N, 98°43.43’W Kansas, USA Found: 2002 Dec Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L6) History: A 28 kg meteorite was found in December 2002 in a pile of rocks at a farm site ~6.4 km south and ~2.4 km west of Bunker Hill, Kansas. The meteorite was described as a three-sided pyramid with a rounded top and flat base. The meteorite was sold at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show in 2006 to an unknown buyer. It appears that the main mass was lost during shipping shortly thereafter. A small piece was removed from the main mass and used for classification. 12 g is held by Stimpson. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
