2021 Fall Date Project

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 :)

Twannberg is one of my favorites. I'm happy with my three little specimens of 2.2 gr (slice), 5.1 gr (slice), and 7.6 gr (individual) - all of them from Marc Jost and purchased at the 2017 Munich Show.
