Willamette Meteorite

Scientists believe that the Willamette Meteorite landed at least 13,000 years ago. Researchers believe it struck Earth somewhere in Montana or Canada and eventually was moved to Oregon by glaciers. It is the biggest meteorite found in North America. It is made of mostly iron and a little nickel. It can now be seen at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. American Indians from the Willamette Valley refer to it as “Tomonowos,” or “the visitor from the sky.”
