Thanks for the additional Pics Bruce.
Did you also collect the dust particles that seem to be inside the 
crater after removing that one meteorite?
Also there appears to be small chips around the meteorite before 
removal. Is that just dirt or mud dropped by searchers or are they 
chips broken off the meteorite? Were they collected also?
The dirt in the bottom of the hole would be interesting as it should be 
the charred outer particles. If they are just earth dirt, then you 
could conclude the meteorite bounced there, if they are parts of the 
outer surface then maybe it hit and stuck. But of course they could be 
broken off by 9 days of freeze and thaw cycles.
