A meteor awaits pick up from the rubble of Friday's tornado in Greensburg, Kan., Monday, May 7,
2007. Amid the rubble, one of the town's most locally famous features was recovered Monday.
A museum volunteer searching the site of the town's Big Well museum found a missing 1,000-
pound meteorite, one of the largest of its kind. The meteorite, a type called a pallasite, is insured
for $1 million. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)

I think the world’s largest hand-dug well is nearby as well, maybe in Pratt.

Yes, I saw in one of the other threads, that it was missing, and thought “well, it couldn’t have gone far”. Looks like I was right.

A missing 1,000Lb meteorite? From the looks of the picture, the rest of the museum was missing too.

How dense is the meteorite? It looks very small to weigh 1000 lbs.
