  Have a picture. Do you prefer a jpeg, pdf, or bitmap (all black and white). It is from Meteorites of Michigan Bulletin 5, dated 1968 (Michigan Geological Survey).


  Had no idea that Michigan State University has the main mass.

  1. In case you do not have Grady's Catalog of Meteorites (2000), here is some info:
  Kalkaska 44?38'49" N, 85?8'12" W
    Kalkaska County, Michigan, USA
    Find 1947
    Iron. Valid(IIIAB) Medium octahedrite; bandwidth 1.0 mm
  Approx. recovered weight: 9.4 kg
  A mass of 20.72lb (9.4kg) was found, V.D. Chamberlain (1965; 1968). Analysis, 7.39 %Ni, 18.1 ppm.Ga, 33.5 ppm.Ge, 11 ppm.Ir, E.R.D. Scott et al. (1973). Description; shock-hardened, V.F. Buchwald (1975). Noble gas data compilation, L. Schultz & H. Kruse (1989); L. Schultz pers. commun. (1998).

  3. Again you might try

  4. Or even
  Published in Meteoritical Bulletin, no. 34, Moscow (1965)
  Find references in NASA ADS
