[meteorite-list] Official Report on 'The Carancas Meteorite fall 15 September 2007' released

[Jeff Grossman]

Some of you may be interested to read the report 
issued 7 months after the fall of the Jilin 
chondrite in 1976, to compare it with the event 
in Peru.  I've put a link to this paper in the 
writeup in the Meteoritical Bulletin database entry:
