.5 grams. 10.8 x 7.5 x 6 mm.   H4-5

TKW 342 grams. Observed fall 15 September 2007 in Carancas, Chucuito, Puno, Peru.

The MetBul seems to have two errors for this meteorite - the TKW and the coordinates of the fall. The MetBul puts the fall in Bolivia but other sources put it directly east of the circular marker for Reserva Aymara Lupaca and a few hundred meters inside Peru.

I got this fragment from Walter Zeitschel shortly before his death. I am very lucky to have this reminiscence*
