Hi list,
Does anyone know about a meteorite which fell in Lesves (50' 22" N - 4' 44" E), near Namur, in Belgium, on April 13th, 1896, at 7:30 pm? Apparently a farmer's son was
injured but survived. A small crater was found.

The stone (olivine - hypersthene chondrite, subtype L6)), about 8cm x
20 cm, weighed 2kg. A 727g. piece is in the Museum of Natural History, in Brussels.

I was wondering if there's any more information available on the story of the injured boy and the find.
