Pultusk
52° 46' N, 21° 16' E
Warsaw, Poland
Fall 1868, January 30, 19:00 hrs
Stone. Chondrite. Ordinary (H5), veined, brecciated; S3.

After the appearance of a fireball followed by detonations, a shower of stones fell over an area of several square miles between Pultusk and Ostrolenka on the Narew.

Three individual Pultusk meteorites from the Manchester Museum collection.

I recall that those Pultusk specimens from the Manchester Museum were super fresh too, looked like they fell yesterday!

Some interesting weathering research been in progress regarding Pultusk...I loaned a specimen that was found recently from the Pultusk strewnfield to Dr Richard Greenwood at the OU who compare O isotopes with some similar freah specimens picked up at the time of the fall to see how they had changed. Seems actually there was not a lot of change as far as I can remember from the results.
