[meteorite-list] Temperature of meteorites

[Zelimir.Gabelica at uha.fr]

Thanks Bernd.

 From your data we have as score:
"warm": 14 versus "hot": 8

I believe this can be completed by browsing through other archives or  
accounts of some recent witnessed falls ?

Are there data reporting "cold, frozen or alike" meteorites ?

Take care,

Zelimir
