Hi All, There was an important message about the September 27th Indian fall that was reported to Meteorobs by Andrei Ol'khovatov last Friday that I haven't seen reported here, so I thought I'd forward it. Note the bit about investigating reports of fires caused by the meteorite. --Rob

They have to do more work to find out if it is H or L group. His first impression is that it is petrographgic grade 5. It has metal filled veins. The total mass collected in 5 fragments is about 8 kg or somewhat more. The expert tried to verify at least one case of the fire. It could not be authenticated. His colleagues will follow the other cases in the Mayurbhanj. The trajectory was almost North to South, may be slightly NE to SW. Best wishes, Andrei Ol'khovatov ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
