Is a literal translation of "Norma" Olmedo, a woman. She was not struck by a meteorite, the news say that she saw the fireball and then went with his son and found a meteorite. Here are some news with photos and even a video of her with the stone she found. http://www.elvecinalistaweb.com.ar/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=1803&Itemid=1 http://www.catamarcactual.com.ar/notas_actual.php?id_nota=52071 http://www.qpasa.com.ar/las-noticias/argentina/2349-meteorito-cae-en- fiambala-y-habria-sido-encontrado-intacto.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wx7vVv7-c In some of the photos and in the video it seems to be a fusion crusted rock, but it seems too light for a fresh fall to me. I'll try to get more information Eduardo -----Original Message----- From: Meteorites USA <eric at meteoritesusa.com> To: Meteorite-list <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:57:13 -0800 Subject: [meteorite-list] Catamarca Meteorite? > Anyone know anything about this?
