The meteorite is said to be discovered during an archaeological excavation of the Sinagua village Elden Pueblo in September 1928.
[2][3] In fact the meteorite was found at another Sinagua site and not in Elden Pueblo[4][citation needed] When the meteorite was removed from the cist it fell apart because it was badly weathered.
The authors were of the opinion that the meteorite was too badly weathered to be accurately classified.
[5][6] The meteorite consists of enstatite, olivine, meteoric iron, plagioclase, troilite.
Accessory minerals include alabandite, apatite, chromite, daubréelite, diopside, graphite.
