Meteoric lava fragment found near Randoph Iowa
W L McCain of Randoph Fremont county found a 3 pound wedge shaped lava fragment in a corn field. Scientists deem it meteoric in origin and say it struck the ground, making a three foot indentation in frozen soil. The piece appears recently broken from another mass, likely in fall. McCain noted no rock there the previous day. The item resembles molten lava and is as hard as flint with a hot strike.
