Steve Herschbach Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 "A large meteorite, named Clarendon (c), was discovered by a local Texas resident, by accident on April 6, 2015. At first, it appeared as a boulder, immersed in the sandy soil, but the experts soon classified it as a stony meteorite. This is the biggest individual meteorite found in Texas, and likely the second largest individual chondrite meteorite ever discovered in the US. The piece was sold to the Texas Christian University, where it's now on public display."
