Hello,
Two known fossil meteorites are mentioned in Hutchison and Graham's book
Meteorites.
One is the Brunflo, Sweden meteorite which was found in 450 million year
old sediment. The meteorite fell into a shallow sea during the Ordovician,
and is preserved today, along with a nautiloid fossil, in a piece of
limestone.
