Ness County, L6

Ness County is a fairly old, but well-distributed meteorite, originally discovered in 1897.  Many institutions possess specimens, but few have been traded into private collections.  This stone was a lucky acquisition from an old collection.  From Farrington’s 1915 Catalogue of the Meteorites of North America:
From that description, it is clear that at least a few different meteorites are likely called Ness County.  I find it unlikely that such a fresh meteorite as is pictured below could possibly be paired with the crustless, weathered mass resembling a marcasite nodule that was described by Ward in 1899.  Institutional specimens should be examined to see what exactly is going on.

This stone weighs 96.3 grams and bears Nininger number – 87.42.  The label of this stone is a little unusual; it is an American Meteorite Laboratory (AML) label that bears an older Nininger collection number, not a Huss number.  I believe this corresponds to the period when Nininger worked for the Denver Museum of Natural History, and the AML was located in Palmer, Colorado, or on 635 Fillmore Street in Denver, from roughly 1929 to 1940.
