In the 30 yrs I lived in Ponca I never saw a rock or stone
until one day I was tilling my garden and tilled up this rock. The size is shown next to a hens egg
it weighs 10 ounces so is very heavy - is it a meteorite? wish I knew.

No rocks in Dixon county Julie except those brought in by someone or fell from the sky.

I have contacted several universities via internet and learned that most metereorites are magnetic and this rock is not. The Ponca indian tribe used to be located where our house was in Ponca.
