Guilford Meteorite. 



Locality — Guilford county. Analyst — Shepard. 



This was secured by Prof. Olmsted in 1820 from a man who 

 told him that it had been detached from a large mass weighing 

 twenty-eight pounds, which was wrought by a blacksmith of the 

 neighborhood into horse nails. The fragment weighed seven 

 ounces. It was a distinct crystal in the form of an octahed)'on. 

 The axis measured three inches, the anole at the summit was 

 60°, that at the base 122°. Its structure was distinctly foliated, 

 the lamiujc being uniformly one-twentieth of an inch in thick- 

 ness and arranged parallel witli the planes of the octahedron. 

 The exact locality of the lind is not given, but it was stated that 

 it was found some ten or fifteen miles distant from the locality 

 where the Randolph county specimen was found. It exhibited, 

 when etched on tai'uished or [)olished surfaces, very perfect 

 VVidmanstiitten fiirures.
