Morasko (Poznan, Poland) IIICD (iron) - found 1914
Morasko was discovered in 1914 by soldiers digging trenches - a large mass of iron was unearthed and later identified as an iron meteorite.
Decades later, depressions and ponds in the area were recognised as impact craters. A total of 8 craters have since been identified, ranging from 5 - 110 meters.
