Well, when I was at Meteor Crater, Arizona, several years ago you
could buy a fragment from it for about a dollar. This would make sense since
they said there were small bits of it lying all about the landscape thereabouts.(Did I get taken?) Meteor Crater is a very short side trip off Interstate 40.
There's another Meteor Crater in West Texas near Odessa, just off
Interstate 20. That one's not much of a tourist attraction.... just a 100-yard
across disturbed area. Rather severely asthetically damaged by the trenches
dug in it by curious geologists who didn't bother to clean up after themselves,
unfortunately. Still worth a visit if you're in the area, if only to see
oil pumpers going right next to a meteor crater!
And is there any reason for major interstate highways to pass SO close
to meteor craters?
