Formerly called the “Colorado Meteorite”, This iron was collected at and elevation of 8,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains forty miles west of Denver this was once part of the Amherst collection where it was named “Aeriotopos”, belonging to the sky. (SWML Book)A mass of about 500lb was found about 25 or 30 miles from Denver, M.H.Hey, Cat. Met., 1966, p.44. Description, C.U.Shepard and J.Henry, Am. J.
