Hey Guys:
  We have v.1 (from the 1800's) through v.112 (1990) here at Emory. If you
find out what issue it's in, I'd be glad to hunt it down for you and make a
copy.

Hi Chris,

I haven't forget about you.

I have tried to find the article again. It was publicised in a Swedish
periodic called GFF, "Geologiska F?reningen i Stockholms Annaler", but I
haven't been able to locate the note I made about which issue it was in.
Two months ago I tried to find it in the storage of the library only to
find that they had removed it from the storage.
120 years of geological articles only three minutes from home gone... :-(

The article in it self was about a meteorite that was observed to fall
in Sweden and found in a field. If my memory doesn't fail me it was
still hot when found, black on the outside and full of fossiles.
Actually it turned out to be a bit of burned limestone and it was
debunked either at the end of the article or in a later issue.

I haven't given up on finding that article again but it will take me
some more effort to find it again. I'll let you know if I find it.

Thanks for the link to the fossile meteorites, I hadn't seen that
article before.

As a sidenote, I was on a mineral tour to J?mtland in 2002 and we
visited Brunflo to collect fossiles. As we knew of the fossile
meteorites found in that quarry my interest were towards the meteorites.
Suddenly I found a rusty ball in a stone. No one had seen anything like
that, but after the first excitement had died down we started to realise
that it probably was a pyrite ball, not a meteorite.
