Massive three ton meteorite found near Riverside California
In Riverside the second largest meteorite in the United States, four feet high and three feet wide, was moved by Marines from Old Woman Mountains to the Riverside Bureau of Land Management before heading to the Smithsonian. Discovered by three Twenty-nine Palms prospectors in March 1976 while seeking a Spanish Conquistador gold mine, the rock may fuel a dispute over ownership with UCLA and other institutions.
