Northbranch
History
Name: Northbranch
Location: Jewel County
Kansas
Type: Olivine Bronzite Chondrite H5
A single piece weighting 76 kilograms was found in a grain field in 1972.
The person who found it, brought it to a local university, they said he did
not have a meteorite. Then in early 1997 it was recognized as a genuine meteorite.
It must have been an unusual looking rock to have been kept all that time.
This meteorite was published in the Meteoritical Society Bulletin No. 81
