Hi Marc and List,

Marc and team, thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to
increasing the recovery rate of meteorite falls.

I don't know if these photos have been seen yet. Our own list member
Peter Scherff visited the people who now own the Wolcott meteorite.
He posted some photos and details here on this forum -

This is now the 3rd meteorite fall of this year - Planeta Rica,
Chelyabinsk, and Wolcott - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/falls

Best regards,
