Around 1999, a cotton farmer uncovered a stone while plowing about a half-mile south of Wellman, Texas. He kept the stone in his garage until 2004, when he contacted McCartney Taylor, who identified the stone as a meteorite. The Wellman meteorite is an ordinary chondrite and has a total known weight of 16.8 kg.
NOTE: The Wellman(g) was previously known as the Wellman(f) Provisional it is now the Wellman(g) as of 2024.
