When I found my first micro-meteorite, my world of meteorites that I thought
I could find changed.

The same as any other recovery, if looking on a snow covered lake, unless
there is something special about the number "about 1", which could be 0.50
g to 1.49 g the way the description is written. One shepard I spoke with
who witnessed a real fireball I chased described a sandy wind that blew in
his face as he heard some whizzing sounds in the nearby trees. Someone
else nearby independently complained of grains of sand hitting his
galvanized metal laminate roof and windowpanes.
Unfortunately the terrain was not as forgiving as a bright white snow net
over a lake, neither for contrast nor other magnetic dust. If it had been
I certainly would have found similar residue from that detonating
meteoroid, probably in much lower quantities in many instances.
Also, Tunguska, though on a large scale, is a similar even, isn't it?
Kindest wishes

Hi List,
While nosing through the Met Bulletin today, I noticed a witnessed
fall with a TKW of only one gram! Is this correct, or is it a
mistake? What are the chances of someone finding 4 small fragments
that add up to one gram?
What makes it more interesting is that the fall was a rare carboncaeous
type.
Does anyone have any more info on this meteorite?
