Hi Listers:
The Catalog of Meteorites lists the fall date of the Dresden (Ontario)
Canada H6 fall as occurring on June 11, 1939.
Yet the following give a date of July 11, 1939 with a recovery date of
July 12, 1939.

and:
Canadian Meteorites by Richard White (1984), as published by The
Provincial Museum of Alberta, pages 19 and 20.
Also:
Colgrove, W.G., 1939, "The Dresden Meteorite." JRASC, 33, 301-33.
Newspapers:
Globe & Mail, July 12, 1939.
The Chatham News, July 12, 1939.

So which date is reliable? If the Meteorite Catalog is incorrect, will
it be corrected in a future edition?
