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 :)

Find/Fall Anniversary
868 grams.   H5

TKW 100 kg. Observed fall, 3 July 2007, Tombouctou, Mali.

 


Herbert writes:
After a smoke cloud was seen and several detonations were heard, the Chergach meteorite shower fell on July 2 or 3, 2007. About 100 kg of this H5 meteorite were collected from a strewnfield that was more than 20 km in length.

The photos show a 868g natural fragment that displays fresh, black fusion crust as well as a broken surface revealing the brecciated interior.
