Abstract
The date of fall of the Morasko iron meteorite was determined by means of thermoluminescence measurements of the
fusion crust and related local materials. Three small pieces, commonly referred to as ‘shrapnel’, were used. The results
obtained are 4.5–5.0 ka, which is in good agreement with previous estimates of 4–6 ka on the basis of radiometric, do-
simetric and palynological methods.
