This stone was found in October 1999, by a hunter who recognized it as special
and different while scouting for elk. He kept it in his yard thinking, but not
knowing, that it might be a meteorite. Two years past before he came upon a
"meteorite wanted" poster that led him to Marlin Cilz who easily identified
this oriented stone as Montana's first stone meteorite. It is somewhat weathered
but still shows a good amount of metal in a mottled brown matrix.
A total of 21.5 kilograms was recovered.
