The images were used both to determine the location of the stones on the ground and, more significantly, to calculate for the first time an accurate orbit for a recovered meteorite. Following the Příbram fall, other nations established automated observing programs aimed at studying infalling meteorites.
Less than ten thousand years old, and with a diameter of 100 m (330 ft) or more. The EID lists fewer than ten such craters, and the largest in the last 100,000 years (100 ka) is the 4.5 km (2.8 mi) Rio Cuarto crater in Argentina. [2]

Stony–iron meteorites have always been divided into pallasites (which are now known to comprise several distinct groups) and mesosiderites (a textural term that is also synonymous with the name of a modern group). Below is a representation of how the meteorite groups fit into the more traditional classification hierarchy: [1]
Ablation – the process of a meteorite losing mass during the passage through the atmosphere.; Acapulcoite – a group of primitive achondrites.; Accretion – the process in which matter of the protoplanetary disk coalesces to form planetesimals.

Iron meteorites, also called siderites or ferrous meteorites, are a type of meteorite that consist overwhelmingly of an iron–nickel alloy known as meteoric iron that usually consists of two mineral phases: kamacite and taenite.
