This is my little display for the very famous Ensisheim meteorite. My fragment was originally from the Paris Museum and is now accompanied by an A4 print by Pierre-Marie Pele (France) and an Ensishiem show pin from my friend Hanno Strufe (Germany)

The meteorite is an LL6 ordinary chondrite, weighing 127 kilograms (280 lb); it was described as triangular in shape, and it created a 1-metre (3 ft 3 in) deep hole upon impact.

Nice, but you are missing one important thing: a copy of the painting of the fall.
