PORTALES VALLEY

This meteorite fell June 13, 1998 in Roosevelt County New Mexico near the town of Portales. It is a very unusual meteorite as specimens range from stone to iron with others being a combination of both.

The above images are four different views of a beautiful 491 gram oriented, fusion crusted individual.
