The Lanton iron meteorite (IIIAB) was unearthed from Howell County Missouri. It was found in 1932, buried in the ground and covered in a thick rind of oxidized shale. The meteorite has a low nickel content, which usually spells doom for ancient meteorites such as these because low nickel meteorites rust quicker. But, this meteorite is shock-hardened and this probably helped preserve it. The vast majority of this meteorite is in the collection of the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Minerals. Through a trusted contact, I was able to acquire several grams of shale fragments from one the Lanton masses. As far as I know, I am the only dealer on the planet who is offering this material. If you are a collector of US meteorites, Missouri meteorites, or iron meteorites - don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of this iron meteorite that is locked away from the private market.
