Alex, the online database contains additional info from multiple sources, as well as some craters, pseudometeorites, etc. Another unpublished in the Met Bulletin for example is Homestead - there was no Met Bulletin around to publish it in in the 1870s.

Nice big piece - thanks for sharing! [jnmczurich writes: "Khor Temiki was never published in the Meteoritical Bulletin". Then again, I see a record in the MetBull database (..look above), where the statement is iterated. Is there a contradiction, has it been added just recently, or do I get something fundamentally wrong here?]

Incredible photo and commentary, J*rgen! It's a privilege to be exposed in MPOD to this little known (at least for me) beauty! Hope the appropriate party makes the effort to submit it for publication! Thanks!
