Last week I noted that there were 9 instances of two meteorite falls occurring on the same day since 1865. I found my data on these so here they are:

1. Aug. 25, 1865 - Aumale, Algeria (L6) and Shergotty, India (Martian)
2. Aug. 28, 1925 - Ellemeet, Netherlands (Diogenite) and Lanzenkirchen, Austria (L4)
3. Aug. 8, 1933 - Sioux County, USA (Eucrite) and Repeev Khuyor, Russia (Iron)
4. Sept. 17, 1945 - Atoka, USA (L6) and Soroti, Uganda (Iron)
5. Sept. 21, 1949 - Akaba, Jordon (L6) and Beddgeler, Wales (H5)
6. Oct. 20, 1951 - Manych, Russia (LL3.4) and Yambo, Congo (H5)
7. Oct. 30, 1994 - Devri-Khera, India (L6) and Lohawat, India (Howardite)
8. June 21, 2002 - Kilabo, Nigeria (LL6) and Thuathe, Lesotho (H4/5)
9. March 1, 2009 - Carterville, USA (chondrite) and Nkayi, Zimbabwe (L6)

Additionally, in two instances, falls occurred on the same day but in the same area, and are assumed to be from the same fall. They are:

Sept. 26, 1939 - Glabggang, Indonesia (H5/6) and Selakopi, Indonesia (H5) Both fell near Bandung
Nov. 13, 1952 - Galim (a), Cameroon (LL6) and Galim(b), Cameroon (EH3/4-an)Rubble Pile??

Enjoy,

Frank

Hello List,
If you are looking for the same day but different years then you can
use this service.
It is a bit outdated statistic based on MetBase data. MetBase has a
day of fall/find and MetBull doesn't. That's why not all the recent
falls are listed. But still you can play with this to see how many
falls/finds where recovered the particular day. Just choose the day
and check: http://sv-meteorites.com/play_with_statistic.aspx Best regards,

>Actually with Cartersville and Nkayi, two recovered falls on the same day has happened 9 times since 1865. Don't have the list readily available, though. FYI, in 1933 the Sioux County eucrite fell about an hour and a half after the Repeev Khutor iron landed just north of the Caspian Sea. I think Kilabo and Thuathe fell about 5 hours apart.

parts of the world and been recovered? Best regards, MikeG

>>>New fall to announce,
Nkayi, Zimbabwe. Fell 1 March 2009. L6 Only 15 kilograms was saved
from a ~100 kilogram stone.
I bought the entire remaining mass which was a large fragment of 8
kilos and about 4 kilos of fragments.
For sale today $20 gram.
It is the only meteorite ever available from Zimbabwe.
Pieces from ~1 gram to 676 grams available. Michael Farmer
