I don’t know about the catalogue, but assuming the meteorite is the usual rocky, iron-nickel composition then it wouldn’t have melted, given that a structure fire tends to top out several hundred degrees below the required temperature. Given that a meteorite has to survive the heat of reentry and impact, it seems unlikely to be fragile or have moisture that would cause fractures either. It would be contaminated and dirty, but not destroyed.
