Abstract
This paper contains a detailed account of the finding, identification, etc., of the meteorite discovered by Mr. Jerry E. Best on his farm about a mile north of the town of Washougal, Clark County, Washington, on July 3, 1939, the day after the audible Portland, Oregon, meteor appeared. The meteorite, which is about as large as a tennis ball, is covered by a thin, black, glazed crust and is an aërolite of the comparatively rare Howardite variety. This is the first meteorite on record for the State of Washington.Keywords
