The near complete stone meteorite retains elements of fusion crust. It was found in the road near a police station. Michael Farmer acquired it from the finder less than 48 hours after the fall.

A bright fireball was seen by numerous observers in parts of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio shortly before midnight on 26 March 2003. Numerous stones fell, mostly concentrated in the area of the village of Park Forest, a suburb south of Chicago. At least two houses in Park Forest were struck, as was the Fire Station. Dozens of other stones or fragments of stones were recovered in the area in the hours and days following the fall.

Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
