Dear members,
I am very appriciate that Martin put so many links regarding the new fall in Huangzhong, Qinghai province, China. I was in the falling area from 16th, to 18th Feb,and had collected the informaitons together with the pictures.
I noticed there must be some mistake in the media reporting. Such as "hundreds of meteorites were falling", that is not true! There are only 4 pieces were recovered until now, and except the biggest one, which is 12.5kg landing on a mountain top of Xiaosigou village, the other 3 pieces were all bronken while landing. what I have seen is there are hundreds of fragments, not individuals! And also the expert from Beijing Planetarium said he had found "crystal things" in the mitrix is also a big funny joke! There is one piece landed on the concrete road of Yehong village,and made a shallow crater (please see the photoes in the following link), and what the expert collected is a broken piece from the concrete road, and the crystal things he said should be the sand and quartz in the concrete. I have purchased several hundred grams of fragments,and also found there is some concrete pieces included, because their colors are very close and villagers cannot
 distinguish concrete pieces from meteorite fragments.
