97 grams.   Diogenite

TKW 12 kg. Observed fall 27 June 1931, in Tatawin, Tunisia.

The MPOD guy was supposed to put this up on June 27 but failed to do so, perhaps because of the effects of smoke inhalation from the Big Horn fire. Apologies to the all-time biggest contributor to the MPOD.

Apparently this fragment broke along some of the dark veins and what you see as black is really one side of one of those black veins. It is common in Tatahouine. The crust when it is there is ash grey, not black. And this piece comes from the Alain Carion Collection.
