Scientific paper

This paper presents the results of a reinvestigation of the object which sallegedly fell at Igast, Estonia, in 1855, and which may be the only sexample of a meteorite with the chemical composition of a tektite. R is sconcluded that generally quoted opinions of the artificial nature of sthis object are based on spurious samples, specifically melted brick and squartz basalt porphyry distributed by a Russian collector. Possibly sgenuine specimens from this observed fall are in the British Museum, the sParis Museum, and perhaps at the University of Dorpat, Estonia. It is srecommended that these specimens be re-examined and that a search for ssimilar objects be made.
