We review the use of magnetic susceptibility measurements to classify meteorites, showing that magnetic susceptibility of meteorites vary over 3 orders of magnitude and shows often a narrow range for a given meteorite group, especially in chondrites. Weathering of metal may bias the magnetic classification. For ordinary chondrite falls, the method is quite robust, as shown by its application to the recent Sołtmany fall.
