Grant meteorite

The Grant Meteorite is a meteorite that was discovered in the Zuni Mountains, about 45 mi south of Grants, New Mexico (for which it was named). It was unearthed in 1929 although the date of its original groundfall is unknown.

The meteorite is a roughly conical mass of iron about 21.875 in in height, and 22.875 to 29.375 in in base dimension, weighing 1060 lb. After discovery, the meteorite was sold to the Smithsonian Institution. It has since been used in a wide variety of scientific studies.
