		"Meteorite Men" Meteorite #M3 Odessa Odessa, Texas Coarse Iron Octahedrite This Odessa meteorite was found in the caliche of a short stretch of recent road laid down by an oil company. It is surmised that a large meteorite struck the Earth approximately 68,000 years ago where a caliche pit south of the Crater is located. Upon impact, the meteorite fractured into smaller pieces that were later dug out by the road construction company. This meteorite was found during a filming of an episode of the television series "Meteorite Men", which is a Science Channel production, by Steve Arnold and Geoff Knotkin, the stars of the series. SOLD First recognized in 1922, Odessa is one of only a few meteorites to be associated with a large crater. The crater is now a protected site and hunting for meteorites is prohibited. As such, no new irons have come to market in many years, and this important and collectible meteorite is rarely offered for sale.
