Hi Wu,
thank you so much for your report and the pics - especially documenting the
impact structures is utmost deserving!
Does there already exist a map shwing the places where the four masses
touched down? Did you speak with the people living in this area and collect
their eye- and ear-witness-reports?
Best regards and greets to China,
Matthias

Subject: [meteorite-list] New Fall in China
Dear members,
I am very appriciate that Martin put so many links regarding the new fall
in Huangzhong, Qinghai province, China. I was in the falling area from
16th, to 18th Feb,and had collected the informaitons together with the
pictures.
I noticed there must be some mistake in the media reporting. Such as
"hundreds of meteorites were falling", that is not true! There are only 4
pieces were recovered until now, and except the biggest one, which is
12.5kg landing on a mountain top of Xiaosigou village, the other 3 pieces
were all bronken while landing. what I have seen is there are hundreds of
fragments, not individuals! And also the expert from Beijing Planetarium
said he had found "crystal things" in the mitrix is also a big funny joke!
There is one piece landed on the concrete road of Yehong village,and made
a shallow crater (please see the photoes in the following link), and what
the expert collected is a broken piece from the concrete road, and the
crystal things he said should be the sand and quartz in the concrete. I
have purchased several hundred grams of fragments,and also found there is
some concrete pieces included, because their colors are very close and
villagers cannot
distinguish concrete pieces from meteorite fragments.
Here is the link of my photoes, copyright is reserved,please do not use
them without my permittion.
