[meteorite-list] Fw: Kaposfured meteorite
Dear All, List members with knowledge of iron meteors please comment the Kaposfured case I posted a few days ago. Thanks for your help. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=34560 http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC98/pdf/1082.pdf Another point is the strong weathering on the pictures: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaposf%C3%BCred_vasmeteorit It does seem to be an iron meteorite but does NOT seem to be a fresh fall.

[meteorite-list] Kaposfured meteorite
Dear List, I started a small investigation about this quite recent meteorite: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=34560 Its status is undocumented. What dokuments/set of information makes a meteorite official in databases? During the past 16 years it received very little attention and publicity even in the local scientific media. The story of the fall raises a lot of questions (melting things after hours, undocumented crater, specialists forgot to take photos, etc). Please read: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC98/pdf/1082.pdf Another point is the strong weathering on the pictures: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaposf%C3%BCred_vasmeteorit Based on my very little knowledge it does seem to be an iron meteorite but does NOT seem to be a fresh fall. I became very interested in the true story of this fall, but before any final conclusion I decided to ask this community. What is your opinion?

[meteorite-list] Meteorite fall: approved or doubtful?
Dear List, I am new here and have some probably very basic questions: Is there any central database to check out details about metorite findings? What should be documented to consider any findings approved? I only find http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/metcat/ this catalog but it does not fully match with local databases in Hungary.
