Hi All,

I'm forwarding this link from the German meteorite list.
Obviously, the first real meteorite individuals from the
recent Spanish fall (January 4) have been recovered -
looks like the real McCoy:

Here's a Google translation of the original Spanish text:

"The author of the finding, according to Garci'a Guinea, has
been journalist Abel Tarilonte, who the 4 of January was of
vacations in the north of the province of Palencia.
There he was present at and he photographed the passage of the
meteor and after crossing several towns of Montes of Palencia
pasts 9 and 10 of January in search of samples, "he located
two fragments, of 42.03 grams and 21.76 grams, on a rural way
of recent compaction where they emphasized by his dark crust
of iron oxidation."

Thanks to Herbert Raab, Austria, for forwarding the link to
the German list.

All the best, and happy hunting,
Norbert
