A small (8 g) Chondrite Meteorite from the historic Pultusk fall in Poland on the 30th January 1868. Measuring 2.2 cm in its longest direction, this stony meteorite was clearly a small fragment from an explosion within the Earth's atmosphere, as it shows an excellent dark, almost black, fusion crust around large parts of its smooth rounded outer surface but the exposed internal parts allow its Chondrite composition to be seen. Ex Horst Wolle Collection, no. 1096
