ResumoABSTRACT This paper gives a brief preliminary report on an expedition to the Wolf Creek Crater, which recovered in excess of 1400 pounds of more‐or‐less completely oxidized meteoritic material, including 3 large, unusually dense, masses weighing 352, 336, and 324 pounds, respectively. Each of these big masses exceeds by nearly 100 times the largest specimens heretofore found at the Wolf Creek Crater. The smaller, less dense, specimens recovered appear to be much like the so‐called “shale balls” found at the Barringer and Odessa Meteorite Craters. Photographs and descriptions of typical specimens and of the southwestern slope of the Wolf Creek Crater, on which the finds were made, are included in the paper.
