My husband & I went to my father-in-law's farm in Mexico, Missouri yesterday. They own 160 acres of farm land and woods.

Most of the land looks like this:

Dad's Farm

But there is one place that this great big boulder lies. It has been split in half. No other boulders are around. The neighbors call it: "the farm with the meteor".

We think it's pretty cool! :)

So two questions Debi, is it a meteorite and did it being split in two come from falling? They probably can tell if it is a meteorite based on the mineral material in it which typically is nickel and iron. Sure is a big one!!

Gary - We don't think it was a meteor, because we think it would've made a deep crater. We're thinking that maybe it dropped from a glacier many years ago... We think that it split in 2 from the freezing and thawing of the creek passing through it. Maybe. :)

Morning Debi,

Whatever or which ever, it sure is huge and out there all by its lonesome.
