This end section is a part of a 19 kg mass, found within the Imilac strewn field in 1986. One of the pictures shows the original impact crater with the 19 kg individual/fragment looking some few centimeters out of the soil of the crater basement. Diameter of the crater is 80 cm.

A friend of mine and I bought the whole 19 kg specimen and cut it in two halves in 1987. This 5.13 kg end section is one of my collection center pieces.
