Hi List, Marcin is correct,
After looking at "the fine print" I see that I made a mistake about the
photo. The photo used for the article was an "(illustrative photo)" only
and not the actual stones from this fall. I still stand behind my ID
that the ones in the original photo I was asking about are quite
possibly eucrites.

Now the only mistake I made was to not read the small print. Oopsy... ;)
Sorry guys.
Regards,
Eric

Take a look at the photos in the article, does this appear to be an
achondrite/eucrite maybe?

astronomers, together with experts from the Ondrejov Observatory of
the Academy of Sciences.
"Identify heliocentric orbit is not easy, it is necessary to
determine the position of being the largest pieces of which we have
actually only one," said Husařík.
Impacts of meteorites on Earth are referred to him a frequent
phenomenon, but it is not easy to record. "Specifically, the Slovak
has been observed, there are five falls. Recent findings from the
1994 Rumanová the village, "he said.
Part of the material universe is now going to analyze the
