Sikhote-Alin

At last, I know more about my meteorite! It has come down in the Sikhote-Alin mountain range on 12 February 1947 - for more information, check out the wikipedia page. If you want to have a look around the neighbourhood, fire up Google Earth and use this. German minerals magazine Lapis had extensive coverage back in 1998 - here's the most informative page.
