It would be thousands of years old in my opinion, many stones are half eaten
away by sandblasting, some are perfect that were buried.
It would have been a sight one would never forget though, likely brighter
than the sun, thousands of kilos and tens of thousands of pieces when it
exploded!

Has anyone made any guesses as to the terrestrial age of 869? I ask because
a rock that big must
have produced a HUGE fireball and smoke trail. Even with sparse populations
in that area, surely
people saw it fall. Are there any folk tales or legends (or memories of old
people, if the fall was
recent enough) that seem to represent a massive meteor?
