Nice to know a guy who knows Taiwan! I will need to fly to Hong Kong and Dounguan city for my company on November 22. My company produce magnet for small motor and others. As you know South China has many tektites available,but so many wrong Nantan iron meteorites there. I am confusing with this. Here are China's Rock Research Center's link(China government) , but they only have Simple Chinese edition homepage could read(no English):
http://geodb.gig.ac.cn/old_www/aero/myright2.htm
The reader only need to type "Province" name or Meteorite name in Simple Chinese. Then, computer will tell you its fell age, meteorite content and location. It is nice to me, but it has never report in meteorite mailing list when most of people don't understand Chinese or Most of Chinese don't know meteorites at all! Although we know different types of iron meteorite has different kinds widemanns pattern but we must be confusing with Nantan when those sellers(China farmers) did not want to tell anybody truth about their found out area in Business! Here, I translate it into English for Chinese provincation:

Dear List:
Chinese seem don't care about Meteorite very much. Since Sha Dynasty till 1911. China has meteorites fell records 365 times.
There are 3 times meteorite shower record in China. Nantan is one, and another 2 records were Jilin stone meteorite showers.
Ming Dynasty has records about Nantan iron meteorite, time is 1516. And China refund it in 1958, 19 pieces and total weight is 9500KG.
Here are a China government link(written in Simple Chinese), you just need to type the location or province name and you can get some informations you want in Simple Chinese:

Hope I could get acquainted with more people who loves meteorites. A special stone from the Sky.
Best Regards!!
