2.44 grams. H6
TKW 71.4 kg. Observed fall 13 June 1998, Roosevelt County, New Mexico, USA.
From the MetBul:
After detonations were heard and smoky trails seen in the sky, a shower of meteorites landed near Portales, New Mexico. 53 objects have been recovered, with a total mass of 71.4 kg. The largest pieces weighed 16.5 kg (witnessed to fall by Nelda Wallace and Fred Stafford), 17.0 kg (found by Elton Brown), and at least nine others over 1 kg. A 530 g fragment went through the roof of Gayle Newberry's barn and embedded itself in a wall, indicating a trajectory west to east. The elliptical strewn field is approximately 7.7 x 2 km, trending N60–65ºE, although recent reports may extend this somewhat.

In two parts. Before just one! Cracking, fragile.. Matrix Like sugar.
1.80 grams (38 x 25 x 1 mm) and 0.64 grams (28 x 10 x 1 mm). Very nice metal veins.

Man that is a really fine. I'm pulling strings here but looking at this meteorite, with the veins of iron and such fragile matrix it must have been a collision event with molten iron and very cool or very hot dry crust combined. It looks like finely ground metamorphic rock mixed with sand in equal parts. Beautiful. |

Thin? TS's are 30X thinner. Merci Denis for breaking this one out for MPOD :-) |

PV is so cool. This is probably a super thin "Lucy" sliced meteorite from Ebay. I have a piece of PV from her. She has been selling very nicely prepared slices of a variety of meteorites that are/can be very thin. Handling them can be risky, but they are nice slices if kept protected. |
