Hello Chris, Eric,
The simple answer is no. No meteorites have ever been found that
match all criteria for what we believe cometary material should look
like.

Hi Chris,
There are many, many meteorites that fell during meteor showers as
showers happen on a regular basis,e.g. Gemenids, Leonids, Persieds
etc. etc. but that does not mean to say that the meteorite fall had
any association with the shower.

Chris, Eric, List,
Mazapil is a very old argument, indeed
Hi List:
Sterling K Webb mentioned this paper about 3/DBiela
Here's a good paper on the Andromedids and their
parent body, Comet 3D/Biela:

I see that one of my earlier essays on this comet was cited. I'd
forgotten about that paper.
Hi Sterling. Eric. Jason and all. IN Cosmic billiards nearly anything is
possible. IF A 22 Bullit can cause an orange to flip upside down or spin. A
large enough impact could also flip or spinn the earth. And its size would not
have to be in the current range of an extinction event impactor. An

I know of one meteor shower (November Andromedids) where an iron
meteorite fell in Mazapil, Mexico during the shower.
Are there any similar events?

Hi Chris and all,
I'm sure your aware of the relationship of meteors vs fireball events
working on trying to photograph them.
For those less familiar, and my thoughts regarding these events, meteor
showers are associated with comets and are the trailing debris behind
the comet. When the
