Hi Graham, Göran & all,

I believe Pultusk would be another good example. Here's an example that
Marcin has:

I changed the subject as this topic took a different path from the
original posting.

There are strong evidence that the Ultuna meteorite found in 1944 is
paired with the 1869 Hessle fall. Classified as H chondrites. I don't
know the weathering grade of Ultuna.
I had the happy coincidence to handle a large (about 600g) individual
this winter.

meteorites, Sweden: paired falls? GFF 116, pp. 231-233.
