I changed the subject as this topic took a different path from the
original posting.
There are strong evidence that the Ultuna meteorite found in 1944 is
paired with the 1869 Hessle fall. Classified as H chondrites. I don't
know the weathering grade of Ultuna.
I had the happy coincidence to handle a large (about 600g) individual
this winter.

Great pieces Mike....looks like this last month has been a good one.
Hoping to get to Ensisheim or Saint Marie again this year...but not
sure yet.
And now a question Mike...or anyone else out there. Are there any
records of chondrite falls that were found many years after the
actual fall (40 or more years) in climates which are wet or similar
the Britain.
I am still trying to asses what sort of state a meteorite such as
Barwell may be in after weathering the elements for that long as we
are still on the track/hunt for one large piece observed to fall by a
farmer well outside of the normal strewnfield but never recovered. Are
there instances of such finds, and if not, is it because they have
weathered a way completely?
Any thoughts anyone?
