In December, 1966, Brookins and Twiss reported the finding of two specimens of an olivine‐bronzite chondrite near Faucett, Missouri. Since that date, six additional specimens have been found. Another probable specimen was found but later lost. This paper describes the circumstances of all nine finds and presents a map of the discovery sites.
