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 :)

Location Map of Antarctic Finds AMN writes:Macroscopic Descriptionby Roberta Score: Shiny, patchy fusion crust covers one surface while dull pitted fusion crust covers the opposite surface. A highly polished fracture surface reveals the greenish-gray crystalline interior. Many inclusions are present, the largest one being 1 cm in longest dimension. Millimeter-sized oxidation spots are scattered throughout the interior. Thin Section Description by Jeremy Delaney: Coarse-grained, brecciated diogenite with olivine, metal, troilite and chromite.
