Gunlock meteorite on display in Salt Lake
Idaho geologist Don Adair found the meteorite in 1982. He sawed the specimen in two, and the other half is at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, according to the Utah Department of Natural Resources.
This specimen, until recently, has been in the geologist's private collection. The piece is named because Adair found it near the southern Utah town of Gunlock. It is one of only 18 known Utah meteorite finds and among 1,512 with official names.
