Andreas writes:
Slice TW #251-3 23.7 grams 41 x 36 x 3.5 mm with Neumann lines.
Every single Twannberg mass is analyzed, confirmed and numbered by Beda Hofmann, curator of the Earth Science Department of the Natural History Museum Bern, Switzerland. The numbers have the prefix “TW” which stands for Twannberg meteorite.
The official list of finds makes every single piece unique! Individual number, date of find, finder and coordinates are published in a new book which illustrates the new Twannberg finds (Hofmann B., Jost M., Koppelt A., 2016 Der Twannberg-Eisenmeteorit, Funde 1984-2016. ISBN: 978-3-033-05736-4, English Summary, German text).
