Cool but their hypothesis about how far it traveled is a bit much. A meteorite could have fallen anywhere near where that was found and made ect

True, but the evidence is that it must have come from a very large meteorite wth a pre-atmospheric mass of at least two tons. As the article says, there are very few in Europe (that we know of) which meet that criterion with only three that match the composition of the arrowhead.

Kaalijärv in Estonia would be the nearest. The impact crater is large and dates to around 4,000 years ago +/- 1,000 years but the meteorite arrived as a shower for which I believe the largest recovered piece is 2.25kg (found in 1937). It’s entirely possible that the strewn field for smaller pieces may extend to localities closer than 1,400 miles to where the arrowhead was found.

What a great find.

The Inuit of Greenland also made good use of meteoritic iron….
