Kelly meteorite (LL4)

Kelly was found in 1937 on the side of the road by Albert Lindstrom in Logan County, Colorado. It's a brecciated, olivine-hypersthene LL4 chondrite (amphoterite) and weighed 44.3 kg (97.5 lb). The Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum says that it was a single rounded mass, was found after plowing a country road and it has been "much studied because of its brecciated structure consisting of two or more types of rocks (a polymict breccia)". The Handbook of Colorado Meteorites gives more details about this meteorite.
