Actually,
 
I think I saw Puente Ladron stone at ASU a number of years ago. It looked very much like Holbrook.

I believe this was the Puente Ladron meteorite from New Mexico. I searched there two years ago and found nothing. Well, found alot of cow pies but no space rox. You can read about Nininger's account of Puente Ladron in his Published Papers. Basically he found it while eating a sandwich.
If you read the account it talks about the area as flat with few rocks. He paces off his find a given distance from a fire ring and bridge. We found the fire ring when we were there some 50 years later! The bridge he speaks of is still there as well.
The area is an alluvial terrace. My guess is that the stone was transported out of the Rio Puerco (river) which is adjacent to the site. Last time I checked the piece was listed in his collection, which went to Max Planck years later.

Hello List:

I remember reading that Nininger found a small meteorite by a stream. If I am not mistaken, this is the only piece that he had found himself.

What ever happened to this piece??
