Hi List!

I have been following the recent discussion on hammer falls, which
I inadvertently started when I asked other list members to share
their witnessed falls and hammers.

Well, I acquired another piece and I am wondering if it is a hammer
or not. In a recent trade, I got a 1.5 gram fragment of Juancheng
with fusion crust on it. I know Juancheng is a witnessed fall,
and I recall hearing storied that it was a shower and that some
stones pelted rooftops. I also recall a story about a stone
landing in a cookpot. I don't remember where I read these
stories - maybe it was here on the list. At any rate, for my
own records, I'd like to know where Juancheng resides in the
spectrum of hammer falls. Is it a "confirmed" hammer? Is the
cookpot story true, or just a dubious anecdote?

I checked Michael Blood's Hammer pages, which I consider to be
definitive or near-definitive, and I didn't see Juancheng.

Best regards,

MikeG
