The Frankfort meteorite fell about 3 P.M. on December 5, 1868, 4 miles south of Frankfort, a hamlet in Franklin County in northwestern Alabama. A single stone weighing about 650 grams was seen to fall. It was decribed by Brush (1869) and identified by him as a howardite. Small pieces of this meteorite are widely distributed in collections, but the major portions are in the Yale (186 grams) and Harvard (57 grams) collections.
