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 Geo....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/lahoma-l5-chondrite-meteorite-from-oklahoma-1963-yard-stone $5.00
