| These meteorites where found by my grandfather Donald Hase who saw them come down many years ago. The exact date is not know. After his death in 1985 they were passed down to me. |
|
| You can see where the meteorites have bubbled with the heat upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere. This has also given them a smooth shinny surface. I have seen lots of meteorites in museums and pictures in books but I have not come across any quite like this. |

| The picture above
shows the bottom side of the larger meteorite. You can see where half of
it has broken away. This was possible during entry into the Earth's
atmosphere or upon impact with the ground.

| What strikes most people about them when they pick them up is that they weigh more than you expect for there size. The large one on the left weighs 750g and the smaller one on the right weighs approximately 500g. |
