Hi Mike,

Revelstoke is a famous fall that occurred a long time ago (and the tiny
meteorite fragments were recovered not long after the fall). Not sure
why it's appearing in the latest Bulletin since it was in Meteoritical
Bulletin #34 back in 1965. Perhaps there is updated information on
the fall included in the latest Bulletin. Haven't had a chance to
read it yet. --Rob

Hi List,

While nosing through the Met Bulletin today, I noticed a witnessed
fall with a TKW of only one gram! Is this correct, or is it a
mistake? What are the chances of someone finding 4 small fragments
that add up to one gram?

What makes it more interesting is that the fall was a rare carboncaeous
type.

Does anyone have any more info on this meteorite?
