Hello,
I'd to send you some news from meteorites in Brazil.
This 2 links are from news of a new meteorite find in the town of Arvorezinha ("Little Tree", in english) in Rio Grande do Sul state.
The first: "Arvorezinha, two meteorites found" (http://www.famurs.com.br/003/00301009.asp?ttCD_CHAVE=132627) has all the details about the meteorite.
The second: "Farmer finds rare meteorite" (http://zerohora.clicrbs.com.br/zerohora/jsp/default2.jsp?uf=1&local=1&source=a2586318.xml&template=3898.dwt&edition=12745§ion=1003) has a link to a picture after the end of the text.
If there are more news about meteorites in Brazil, I'll send you.
Congratulations for your great meteorite blog, the best source of meteorite news that I know!
