HAIDINGER,W. Der Meteorsteinfall zu Montprais am 31. Juli 1859. From: Sitzber. Akad. Wiss. math.-naturw. Kl. Wien 44, No. 2, 1861, pp.373-378. Hello Pierre-Marie and List, This may be the enigmatic Sologne H5 chondrite (S3; W1; br) and the small town may be Mont-Près-Chambord (Loir-et-Cher). A 54 g stone was found by Yannick Dubouloz in a box in the attic of his late grandmother. In the box was a handwritten note saying that the stone was a meteorite that fell in 1860. Mineralogy and classi- fication (N. Dauphas and Y. Dubouloz, CRPG; B. Zanda, MNHNP).
