Extract

Unfortunately nothing is known of the history of this stone. It was found in 1933 by Mr. R. Bedford in the old museum at Port Adelaide in South Australia. Attached to the specimen is a small label with the number 23, and accompanying it was a card giving in faded writing the information '(23) Meteoric stone from Silverton'. The Port Adelaide Museum has been in a neglected condition for thirty years, and recently it has been decided to reorganize it as a Nautical Museum, and to discard all mineral and miscellaneous material.
