230 «3G. F&F. Kunze—WMeteorites from Kentucky and Mewico. 
The Carroll County meteorite was found in 1880, about # of 
a mile from Eagle Station, Carroll County, Kentucky, ten 
miles from the mouth of the Kentucky River and about seven 
miles in a direct line from both the Kentucky and the Ohio 
Rivers. The distance to the Turner mounds, where Professor 
Putnam found the meteoric iron and the ornaments made of it, 
is about 60 miles. The mass, which weighs about 80 lbs. or 
36°5 kilos (figs. 2 and 3), is almost square, measuring -19™ (74 
Carroll County Meteorite, lower side, 4 natural size. 
inches) in. thickness, 22™ (10 inches) in width and 29™ (12 
inches) by 29™, 12 inches in length. The surface is rusted in 
some places to a depth of 10 to 12™™, and deep pits, some 2™ 
across, are observed in spots where grains of olivine have prob- 
ably dropped out. All of the original crust has disappeared. 
The mass is largely made up of fine yellow, transparent olivine, 
resembling closely that of the famous Pallas: iron. This 
meteorite belongs to the siderolites or ‘‘syssidéres” of Daubrée, 
and the Pallasite group.
