Abstract
ABSTRACTAn investigation made in 1929 brought to light the following facts concerning the aerolite of Rancho de la Presa, Zenapecuaro, Michoacan, Mexico. This stone was seen to fall in 1899—the exact date of the fall is unknown—by two Mexican women. The original weight of the meteorite was above 300 g. The main mass is preserved in the State Museum at Morelia, the capital of Michoacan, while 63 g. are in the Institute of Geology at Mexico City and 3 g. are in the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago, Illinois. The aerolite should be classified probably as a brecciated, veined, gray chondrite.
