Hi Sterling, Thanks for this information, I find it interesting and useful for my own studies. However, I do not expect it to be the "fossil" story original mentioned by Göram. Not because I know much about sedimentary meteorite falls, but because I know a thing or two about alleged fossil-bearing spacerocks from the 19th century press. It would surprise me if Swedish newspapers didn't publish a report about a meteorite that remained hot for an impossibly long time and contained organic fossils, simply because that was the fashion at the time.
