Hi, Michael,

The source is a newspaper: New York Times 
(published in New York, New York, USA)
Date (of report in NYT): December 8, 1929
Date of Incident: Not Specified
Location: Zvezvan, Yugoslavia
Details: A meteortite struck a wedding party in
Zvezvan, killing one person.

I think that little newspaper is still in business;
maybe they kept some of their old papers in
the basement; who knows? You could check. :-)

Reported in the book "Rain Of Iron and Ice" 
by John S. Lewis, 1996, in a table of hundreds of 
"Property Damage, Injuries, and Deaths Caused
by Meteorite Falls," found on pp. 176-182.

Dave,
I appreciate your high degree of precision... and your vast knowledge of my 
country of birth...:)

The Macua (or Makua for english speaking people), are the largest etnic 
group of Mozambique, 5 million of them, nice, friendly people,
out of a grandtotal  population of 19.406.000 (2005). Besides their own 
language Macua, they speak Portuguese as well.
The Macua live mainly in  3 of Mozambique's provinces: Cabo Delgado, Nampula 
(where I was born), and Zambezia,  some 258.800 sq Kms in round numbers.
May a nice meteorite fall in your backyard...

I was born in Mozambique in 1945 - what was  known as Portuguese East
Africa - until its independence from Portugal  in 1975.
For the Macua tribe (who live in north of Mozambique, the same region where

Hi Bernd,

A treatment with Babelfish at www.altavista.com tells us that "Poglica" is a 
word with a complex indoeuropean etymology, including most closely from 
Slavic.  Apparently it most recently means "button", and earlier was derived 
from roundish things like goiter and roundish ball.

Interesting observation on the "E" for East Africa.  Apparently "Muana" is 
also a Congolese surname (Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) and Camaroon were also 
mentioned).

It doesn't look much like an Ivory Coast tektite, but that's what I dug out 
of the Internet and probably is more than a coincidence for the locality. 
Might check into the e. African "Galim" locality meteorites from place name 
"Adamoua", Cameroon.

Good luck!
Doug

a pallasite (a mass of 12 to 15lb [5.4 to 6.8kg]
was ploughed up in 1881, and other masses later)

Re: [meteorite-list] Info needed

2002-10-08 Thread Charlie Devine

Hello Rob and list,

In his 1975 book, Fallen from Heaven: Meteorites and Man, a compilation
of descriptions of some 100 falls and finds, Richard M. Pearl notes the
following regarding the Homestead fall:

"Between 10:20 and 10:30 p.m. on the cold winter night of Februrary 12,
1875, a tremendous ball of fire streaked across the Iowa sky from south
to north.  It began to slow at an altitude of 2 1/2 miles.  Great
detonations were heard, accompanied by a 'rushing, rumbling, and
crashing sound.' 'The observerswere quite overcome with
fearhorses shying, rearing, and plunging to get away, and dogs
retreating and barking with signs of fear.'  The sight was visible from
St. Paul to St. Louis and from Omaha to Chicago, but, as is customary in
such events, the witnesses disagreed as to what they saw and heard.
This was the phenomenon that dropped the Homestead stony meteorite, over
100 pieces of which, weighing about 484 pounds, were picked up in Iowa
County between 
Amana ( Amanda von der Hohe, settled by the communal Amana Society ) and
Boltonsville in the several years afterward.  The first stone was found
on February 15, lying on the snow and sticking to the snow and ice
beneath.  It had bounced from its original position.  Professor Gustavus
Hinrichs, of Iowa State University, who taced its course, published in
St. Louis in 1905 an illustrated booklet in which he urged adoption of
the name Amana instead of Homestead.  The railroad station at this
latter place became headquarters of the "meteor-brokers", where trading
at $2 a pound occurred.  Other names that have been used include Iowa
County, in which it fell, Marengo, Sherlock ( Sarah Sherlock found the
first large piece, the "Sherlock stone" , weighing 7 pounds) and West
Liberty.  Yale University has the largest collection, 35 kilograms."  

The above is the entirety of Pearl's entry for Homestead.  Hope this
helps.
Best wishes,
Charlie

Hello all-
I'm looking for any info about the falls of Allegan and/or Homestead. I have
the CatMet info but can't find much else in the way of description of the
falls or historical information.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [meteorite-list] Info needed

2002-10-07 Thread SSachs9056

Hi Rob and list,

Re: Homestead, I added a "Meteorite Hunting" page to my site a number of 
weeks ago. I described looking for further specimens in the Homestead area 
(1991)---and finding what appears to be the Homestead main mass, tucked away 
in a tiny county museum in the Homestead area. Not too much new information, 
except for a great pic of a specimen probably weighing in well over 100 lbs. 
I have to appoligize if you have have already viewed the site and emailed me.

If you are interested, I can also scan / photocopy the entries regarding 
Homestead & Allegan, from the Catalogue of the Meteorites of North America by 
O.C.Farrington published in 1909. The book I have is very brittle, and the 
spine is in absolute shambles, so I will attempt to scan this only once until 
I get the book fixed. (fixing the book is going to be about $250.00) If the 
scan is successful I will post this as an attachment to my next e-mail. If 
not I will let you know so that I can make and forward photocopies to you.

The Homestead entry is 13 pages long--and may have alot of information you 
might be looking for. The Allegan entry is about 1 and half pages long.

The site is with the main mass Homestead: 
http://www.geocities.com/gangwise/meteoritehunting.html

Feel free to download the pic.

If you get a message from the good people at Geo Cities/ YAHOO that the site 
is unavailable. Try again later. It adds bandwidth every hour.

Best,

Re: [meteorite-list] Info needed on NWA 531

2002-02-22 Thread David Freeman

Dear Dave;
I haven't had time to look it up but since the Catalogue of Meteorites 
actually came out a year ago, and it went to  the print deadline before 
that, I would think you would have to wait for the 6th. edition of the 
Catalogue of Meteorites to get the explosion of NWA classifieds in the 
past two years.
Just my guess,
