This is the only Park Forest meteorite I know of that was recovered in Chicago Heights Illinois. The location where it was found seems to be outside of the strewnfield. If that's the case it could be a hammer that hitched a ride somehow and was transported to Chicago Heights. Whatever the case may be, the history of it's recovery is interesting.


Here are a few pics. It's about 30-35% crusted and was recovered right after the fall. It doesn't appear to have been exposed to moisture.
