Twannberg Strewnfield

More than thirty years after the first fragment of the Twannberg Meteorite was recovered, researchers from The Bern Natural History Museum have recovered more than 600 fragments. News report from from swissinf.ch here. Report, in Swiss, with lots of pictures, here.

Thanks Dave...This is a fascinating story which those attending Ensisheim this year were fortunate enough to get a preview about in the form of a wonderful presentation by Marc Jost and his team who have documented the strewnfield...there were many samples there too for inspection and for sale.
