Ok, after reading the other posts and especially after seeing this photo I
have to back to thinking that the chances of Winona being from the same fall
as all the Canyon Diablo's. I still wonder why the native americans would
bury stones that they didn't see fall for themselves but the arguements put
forth certainly seem to suggest that it what happened.
Thanks to everyone who wrote back,

Hi All,

To say that Winona is weathered is an understatement.

Imagine the rustiest, crustiest pile of fragments loosely bound, just barely
overcoming the force of gravity...now apply the term weathered to it and you
have Winona. Don't believe me, have a look at this pic.
