[meteorite-list] Meteorite Question of the Day - February 11, 2006

[Peter Marmet]

 From the Tanzania homepage:

"Mesurant plus de 3 m de long, et pesant plus de 15 tonnes, la  
météorite de Mbozi (sur la route de Mbeya) est la troisième plus  
grande météorite du monde. Découverte en 1942."

Translation: More than 3 meters long, more than 15 t, the 3rd largest  
in the world. Discovered in 1942!
The Meteorites A to Z says: Mbosi with s, discovered in 1930!?
