Fragment pracy^[1]: The boulder was found in summer 1954 in a gravel pit on the slope of the Radunia valley, near the little settlement of Lower Łapino (18°28’20” E, 54°16’20” N) in the Pomerania region, some 20 km south from Gdansk. The pit was active here from 1888 till about 1975, and at present the partly drowned workings arecovered with young trees and bushes. The boulder was noticed by miners in 1954 and its meteoritic origin was suggested because of its notable magnetic susceptibility and unusual appearance. The boulder Łapino is quite unlike the erratic boulders (mostly granitoids and gneisses) brought from Scandinavia by Quaternary continental glaciers, which are abundant in the glacial deposits (Rühle, 1974). The boulder was conveyed to the Astronomical Observatory of the Warsaw University, where it was stored up till 1996. Then it was transferred to the Polish Geological Institute, to resolve the origin of the stone (Stepniewski, 1997; Stepniewski and Pilski, 1998).
