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.
