TKW 1473 grams. Observed fall 6 March 2016, Bayern, Germany.
  
Dieter writes:
Main mass (1320 grams) of the LL6 chondrite Stubenberg,
Bavaria, Germany, found by Ralph Sporn and Martin Neuhofer.
The meteorite fall was observed and photographed on
March 6, 2016. After precise calculation of the strewnfield
six meteorites (totaling 1473 grams) were found by
dedicated and systematic searching.
From the MetBul:
History: (Pavel Spurný, CzAS). A very bright bolide was observed by thousands of eyewitnesses over Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic on March 6, 2016, at 21:36:51-56 UT. It was recorded photographically and photoelectrically by digital all-sky fireball observatories at six Czech stations of the European Fireball Network. A digital photographic spectrum of the bolide was also obtained. Based on these instrumental data, precise results on atmospheric trajectory, heliocentric orbit, and fragmentation history were quickly determined. From this analysis it was evident that this event likely resulted in multiple stones falling: the impact site was modeled and sent to German colleagues four days after the fall. All of the meteorites were found in the predicted location for a given mass.

German precision at work. Meteorites do not make it very long under bavarian climatic conditions. This one looks fresh as fallen yesterday, maybe it's just the foto. |

Marvelous! This beautiful main mass has rewarded the hard work and long search. I read that many people were involved with great enthusiasm in the search for pieces of the meteorite. Apart from the main mass, unfortunately, only a few small fragments were found. |
