Serooskerke is part of the Ellemeet fall, which occurred in 1925 in the Netherlands. The town of Serooskerke is about two kilometers south of Ellemeet.

These are the meteorites that were stolen from the Sonnenborgh Museum and Observatory in Utrecht on August 19, 2014. Happily, they were recovered, although there was some damage.   Diogenite

Gert writes:
Here are some pictures I took on September 1 at the presentation of the recovered meteorites.

Photo 1 is the broken Serooskerke and a bottle with fragments.

Photo 2 is a close up of the Serooskerke fragments.

Photo 3 is a view of the other recovered meteorites.

Photo 4 is a picture of people looking at the meteorite cabinets, which are housed in the library of the observatory.
