It's a miracle this delicate CM2 survived 3 weeks in a field full of horses and muddy ground. I was with Derek when he called me over and asked what I thought of the muddy stone deep in the bottom of the footprint. The only way you could tell it was a meteorite was because it had been broken by the horses hoof and part of the pristine black centre was showing. I was astounded. Just a tiny part of the irridescent crust showed on one edge through the mud coating that confirmed to me what it was. I have a small part of it now in my collection. A magical moment in hunting for Winchcombe. Derek also captured the meteor and it's spectrum on his all sky camera and got the permissions to hunt that area. A wonderful story for him.
