In 1914, in Morasko near Poznań, a 77.5 kg iron meteorite was found. Later there were additional findings. In 1955 seven crater‐like structures, situated in the neighborhood of the meteorite finds, were identified. Until now it has been doubtful whether the iron meteorites and the craters belong together. New examinations by the author confirm beyond any doubt that the meteorites and the craters were caused by the same event.
