Hi, Robert,
The point of the Swedish paper was that at this geological period there
were a lot more meteorites in the limestone than there should be, based on
today's fall rate. There were so many more meteorites that the authors proposed
a period of intense meteorite falls, a veritable rain
Dear list- I have found a few iron oxide nodules in layers of Cambrien age
shale while digging trilobites in Nevada. I didn't think much of it at the
time. I'll have to dig them up from the garage and do a nickel test. It's
and interesting subject, and there are known meteorites recovered from
I found some iron oxide nodules, or 'spheres' in limestone in the
Caribbean. At a certain layer in coastal cliffs of limestone strata that
looked different (darker, coarser material with an underlying whitish
substance, there were iron nodules embedded in the limestone. You could
see them exposed
Hi,
there were found 55 fossile meteorites in limestone in five different
quarries in South Sweden,
more than 40 of them in the Thorsberg quarry in Kinnekulle.
The quarries a distributed in an area of 300 miles and the layers in that
limstone formed in a span of 2 million years 480 million years
Hmmm... Judging by the responses to this topic, Meteorites in Limestone,
roundish metallic things found in limestone and other sedimentary rock is
not extremely uncommon but worthy of further investigation. Especially when
found in layers or deposits corresponding with certain known time periods.
It looks real, but then the front end of the fireball
looks fake
That was also my first initial reaction, untill I also looked at the second
picture and thought it all over and slightly changed my mind.

Right away, I compared the fireball pic with the S-A painting right away to see if it
might have been used as a template. I found almost no similarities between the two. I
also looked at the pixels of the fireball for any obvious artifacts, deliberate
dithering, aliasing, etc. and found none.
Hi list.Just an update on our PF tour.Bob and I will be down there

will have my cell phone on, 1-847-804-8810.Feel free to call if you like.I
hope to see more people down there.
Hi Pekka and the list,
the fossile meteorites of Kinnekulle are very macroscopic.
I couldn't find a picture in the web, so I scanned a photo from a magazine.
(SterneWeltraum, 8/2003, p.15)
The meteorite there is about 8cm x 6cm / 3.15 x 2.36 and is looking like,

Hi All!
I need your help once again! I am in the process of collecting

I can personally vouch for Atul's sincerity and kindness and just wanting to help
anyone wanting to go over there and hunt. It never hurts to have contacts and I know
that Atul's only motivation was and is for peoples safety as well as getting them to
the fall more effectively.
Hullo,

Hello, Bjorn and the list,
well, I usually use the cataloque as a base. Just tried to get
some sense to the quantities of the swedish meteorites
published in the swedsih and international press. Suppose,
the data was given by the swedish NHM.
I gladly aggree with Mrs Grady and the cataloque,
Maybe all of the hoopla will motivate him to put on a
wet suit and a mask and dig up the rest that is, as
you say sitting in sewage water.

The Indian government has a publication (a copy of which I obtained from

Hi Pekka,
many thanks for putting the picture online!

It's fascinating - I think now the problem of the conservation of meteorites
is solved:
Just throw your collections in the next ocean or lake.

Pekka The List,
I think we must use Monica Grady et. al. and the
recent 'Catalogue of Meteorites' as the definite authority
of what constitute a meteorite fall/find or not.

Chassigny (1815), and Zagami (1962) fell on this date. No location of a
