Mark L. Smith noticed a hole in the roof of a shed while repairing it; he then found a stone of 220 g in the interior of the shed. The entire mass is retained by the finder, who will not permit it to be sampled for further analysis. Classified as ordinary chondrite from examination of a broken surface by Carl A. Francis, Harvard University Mineralogical Museum, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA. The meteorite was described with photographs in the Portland (Maine) Evening Express of 1978 October 20. David S. Westerman published a note about it in the Maine Geologist 5 (1978).
