A mass of 2.75 kg was found on the surface by Ole Lavstuen in 1892 near Morradal Creek, about 10 km west of Grotli, in Jotunheimen, (Bragger 1894). It was fully described with three photographs of the exterior and a map sketch by Cohen & Bragger (1898) who, however, had difficulty in resolving the fine, a taxi tic structure and erroneously compared it to Smithland which, as we now know, presents an effectively reheated structure. Also Brezina (1896: 297) stressed the resemblance to Smithland. Cohen (1905 : 100, 122, 126) built his very heterogeneous Morradal group around this meteorite. The meteorites included in it had little else in common than a poorly resolvable structure.
