[meteorite-list] The "3:00pm" fall statistic?

[chris aubeck]

Hi Martin,

I have access to the database here

http://www.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research-curation/projects/metcat/indexmany.dsml

but the times aren't recorded. If there are any other full online
catalogues I'd gladly sift through all the results.

Best,

Chris
