Caratash, Smyrna, Asia Minor.
Fell 1902, Aug. 22, 8 p.m.
Stone. Ampkoterite.
After appearance of fire-ball and detonations, a stone about as " big as a melon " fell (Bull. Soc. Astron. France, 1902, p. 486; and letter of A. S. Anastassiadhis of Jan. 22, 1903, in Min. Dept., British Museum).
The main mass was sent to Constantinople. In thin-section this stone presents precisely the same characters as Manbhoora (G. T. Prior).
