Hi Sergei and the rest,

One of the two fragments (the smallest one, 2.7 kg, which fell near
Loevenhoutje) of the Utrecht meteorite, an L6 from the Netherlands which
fell June 2, 1843, fell into a ditch, throwing up a fountain of water in the
event. It was recovered 3 days later. See also my website on the Dutch
meteorites at http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/dutchmet.html, where a
photograph of this particular Utrecht fragment can be found too.
