Third Largest Meteorite Found in Kansas
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/3455777

Quoted From the Houston Chronicle:

"The meteorite is classified as an oriented pallasite, a type noted for a conical shape with crystals embedded in iron-nickel alloy. Only two larger ones of that type are known to have been found: a 3,100-pounder in Australia and a 1,500-pounder in Argentina."
