This is the third recovery from the 1st March fireball over Norway. Provisionally named Oslo, this 115g individual is said to have fallen through a tree onto grass. It was then scrubbed clean by the finder with water and vinegar - thankfully, with no lasting damage.

Purchased from the finder by Rob Elliott.
