Dear List, I started a small investigation about this quite recent meteorite:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=34560 Its status is "undocumented". What dokuments/set of information makes a meteorite "official" in databases? During the past 16 years it received very little attention and publicity even in the local scientific media. The story of the fall raises a lot of questions (melting things after hours, undocumented crater, specialists forgot to take photos, etc). Please read: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC98/pdf/1082.pdf Another point is the strong weathering on the pictures: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaposf%C3%BCred_vasmeteorit Based on my very little knowledge it does seem to be an iron meteorite but does NOT seem to be a fresh fall. I became very interested in the true story of this fall, but before any final conclusion I decided to ask this community. What is your opinion?
