The MPOD Caretakers want to present meteorite falls on their fall dates. For example, Sikhote Aline on 12 February. This Project will not dip into the MPOD archives so the Caretakers will appreciate anything you can contribute. To reserve a date just let us know. Thank you in advance :)

ShockWaveMPOD writes:From the MetBul: A significant portion (1/3) of the stones consist of a dark, fine-grained impact melt containing mineral and chondrule fragments. The melt was not caused by impact with Earth. It formed in ancient collisions in space.
