[meteorite-list] FW: Meteorite hit pear on tree:)

2016-09-06 Thread Sterling K. Webb via Meteorite-list 
Paul Gessler and List,

Since the late unpleasantness 
between your ancestral Gessler 
and Herr Tell started up around 
1307 A.D., but the Twannberg 
iron was only discovered on 
May 9, 1984 in a barley field 
near Twann, after it had been 
plowed up (that's Twannberg I), 
it seems to me unlikely to be 
the murder weapon! 

Two additional fragments were 
found in an unnatural setting. 
One fragment (II) was found in 
2000 in an attic in Twann and 
another (III) in 2005 in the Naturhistorisches Museum Bern, 
in a collection received from the 
Museum Schwab in Biel where it
had been labeled as a hematite 
around 1930. Twannberg IV, V 
and VI were found in the creek 
Twannbach.

The meteorite is named after 
Twannberg (from the German,  
Twann mountain), a mountain 
that lies north of Twann.

You should take a look at this:
http://history-switzerland.geschichte-schweiz.ch/william-tell-switzerland-he
ro.html

The chapel contains paintings 
including one of Wilhelm Tell 
shooting the "tyrant Gessler in 
the hollow way between 
Immensee and Küssnacht."

But the whole thing may be 
(probably is) a myth. "But one 
cannot find any document 
concerning a person named 
Wilhelm Tell nor the report 
of an assassination of a bailiff 
in central Switzerland. Only in 
1470, 160 years or so after 
the alledged events, a chronicle... 
reports the legend for the first 
time."

Herr Tell is a myth.

This is not a scam, Mike, it's old Swiss tradition. National hero
Wilhelm Tell penetrated an apple on the head of his little son with an
arrow made of Twannberg iron.

This is how Monnig recovered such a large collection. He traveled Texas asking
