[meteorite-list] Fully Documented Hammer?

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Anita,

I can't speak for falls outside the US, but there are 5 or 6 US falls that might 

fit your parameters.  


You are obviously familiar with Cartersville, GA (2007) I'm sure.  It fits all 
your 

requirements except classification which will come soon I'm sure.  The display 
is at the Tellus Science Center.   Others are:
 
Benld, IL (1938).  I believe most pieces of the impacted auto and most of the 
H6 stone are in the Field Museum, Chicago.  

The small H5 stone and aluminum shed roof of the Centerville, SD (1956) are on 
display at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City.

I believe the Field Museum also has a "holed" floor board of the Kilbourn, WI 
barn that was impacted by a H5 stone in 1911 and a small piece of the stone (and 
maybe a cast of it??).
 
The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has the impacted roof and dry wall 
boards of the Canon City, CO (1973) H6 fall.  It has at least a large fragment 
of the stone in its collection.
 
There are a also a couple of private displays of Park Forest impacted artifacts 
(printer and stone) I believe.

Peekskill might not fit your criteria, but I believe there is a cast of the 
whole meteorite that goes with the car.  

Hope this helps a bit,

Frank

Does anyone know about how many hammers have been fully documented that have in 
one place/collection:

1.  The whole meteorite (or all the pieces)
2.  All of the material it hit (shingle, wood, plaster, floor, car, etc.)
3.  The date/time if witnessed
4.  The classification

I'm guessing there are only about 4-5 cases worldwide, but I may way off. (I've 
been accused of that before.)

Thanks for your help,

Anita
