Hello Chris, I invite you to contact a specialist of belgian meteorites, Vincent Jacques.
Here's his email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sure he'll have all the details about the Lesves meteorite fall. Best regards, Pierre-Marie PELE www.meteor-center.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi list, Does anyone know about a meteorite which fell in Lesves (50' 22" N - 4' 44" E), near Namur, in Belgium, on April 13th, 1896, at 7:30 pm? Apparently a farmer's son was injured but survived. A small crater was found. The stone (olivine - hypersthene chondrite, subtype L6)), about 8cm x 20 cm, weighed 2kg. A 727g. piece is in the Museum of Natural History, in Brussels. www.spacepage.be/content/view/1326/53 www.meteorites4sale.net/MET_L.HTM www.fieldmuseum.org/research_collections/geology/meteor_col.pdf I was wondering if there's any more information available on the story of the injured boy and the find.
