AW: [meteorite-list] nearly nailed...

[Martin Altmann]

Kunya-Urgench.
"A large mass impacted 30-50m from several farmers in a cotton field,
creating a 6m wide by 4m deep crater. A single stone weighing about 900kg
was recovered from the crater.."


Boguslavka
"The first fragment fell near a Cossack who happened to be riding nearby,
Ivan Ovchinnikov..."


Hvittis
" K.Siivonen, a workman was standing on a field when he heard detonation and
soon after that he heard a swishing sound. Swish was so loud that he knelt
to avoid any hit. Because he was knelt, he did not notice that the meteorite
hit the ground about 100 meters away from him..."

And so on...

Betreff: [meteorite-list] nearly nailed...

Listoids

I have admired MB's hammer stone sale page and whilst I have the odd few 
hammers I am also interested in the "nearly nailed" or "missed by that much"

meteorites that whilst not a hammer in the true sense are certainly a 
collectable in their own right

Examples are ucera and talampaya etc etc - whilst I can go thru the blue 
book and identify some - I am hoping that listees might post with the names 
and stories of the nearly nailed which would I am certain make a far more 
interesting read to the listoids rather than the squabbling of late...

Cheers
