TKW 20 kg. Observed fall 28 December 1998, Beja, Portugal.
From the MetBul:
Many stones with a total mass probably near 20 kg were recovered along a rural path after a brilliant fireball and loud noises were observed by several people. Antonio Silva recovered the first fragments two days after the fall and, subsequently, local villagers recovered other pieces. The meteorite made an elliptical crater (60 x 30 cm, 20 cm deep), and most fragments were found within 55 m of the others.
  
Paul writes:
This specimen is in the lower level of the Flandreau Planetarium on the campus of the University of Arizona, along with many other meteorites and a wonderful collection of mineral specimens.

I got my 16.66 gr partslice of this gas-rich regolith breccia from Mike Farmer on May 11. 1999! There's also a thin section in my collection. |
