NEW RAYMER
![]() |
A (very) small town in northern Colorado,
just south of the Pawnee Buttes National Grassland.
It is an area of cactus, short grass, badlands where time seems to stand still. Very few signs of human habitation, only eagles and falcons overhead,
antelopes grazing about. The area is
not known for meteorites but for fossils, thousands of them representing hundreds of
species have been recovered here. That is until a local rancher, who obviously had learned to recognized meteorites, ran into this one in 1995.

The New Raymer Meteorite
Only one mass was found in 1995 by
a local rancher who prefers to remain anonymous.
It was analyzed by Gary Huss and was published in Meteoritical Bulletin #89.
