The closest to me is the Guffey Ataxite which was found by two cowboys near Guffey, CO, in 1907. This is about 35 miles from where I live. I have a 56.5 g slice which I got from Al Lang in person and which I love to show to kids at local star parties. Just finding a meteorite up here in the Rocky Mountains is pretty amazing in itself!
Here is a link to info about this beautiful iron by my friend, Chris Peterson who lives near Guffey. http://www.cloudbait.com/science/guffeymet.html Ginger Divide, CO ============================= Anne asked: Hello everyone, Since the List is very quiet tonight...................... I was chatting with an ex-List member earlier today about the newest Colorado meteorite, probably an eucrite. And I noticed that the meteorite that fell (was found) closest to where I am from is also an eucrite: Bouvante. Do you know which meteorite came closest to your backyard? Anne M.
