well here it is. small fragments of recent event centering around Park Forest, Illinois that has dropped known 14 kg so far. fall of 3-26-03 occurred just prior to midnight cst. over 80% of approx. 35 reported witnessed occurred in park forest with a clustered band epicenter @ 1 mile NNW of post office. reported falls occurring as far as 8 km from cluster. fall appears to have been close to vertical with slight NNE to SSW bias. stones listed here were collected morning following fall from 77 Winslow site. this fall slammed into street outside home of residents Gale, Diane, and Chris, ricocheted into sided porch, and came to rest just outside front door. the main mass, @456 g in 2 pieces, was acquired by mike farmer for over $2000. site has been scoured by scores of people including steve witte, steve arnold, farmer, and austrian eric. largest known as yet is 426 Indiana Garza stone, @2.4 kg, that shot throught home and bounced around bedroon the stones listed here, and my other listings are all pristine fragments of Winslow impact. primary and secondary fusion crust is evident on some fragments. anomalous globules and shock fracture veins evident throughout. steve witte informs this is likely LL6 chondrite. there is another listing on ebay that gives chicago tribune account of event in item description. PLEASE NOTE: conclusions drawn above from empirical evidence. i have not however actually seen 7 of reported stones including Garza, Jones and Mullen. these stones represent over 6 kg of reported amount. one of these will certainly eventually find residence at Adler or Field. these and other listings GUARANTEED 100% authentic and specific to Winslow (park forest street name, not AZ) site.
