38.8 grams.   Iron, IIIAB

TKW 58.2 metric tons. Fall not observed. Found 1818 in Greenland.

Fell about 10,000 years ago. It first became known to the scientific community in 1818 but the first large piece - the 31 MT Ahnighito (the Tent) - was not located until 1894. Robert E. Peary, the famous American Navy Arctic explorer, led the expedition and enlisted the help of a local Inuit guide. Seven other large pieces have been found since.

Thank you Steve, Graham, My picture taking at the time leaves everything to be desired. This beauty is from Mirko and if you look at the lower left quadrant you may see a reflection towards the camera. Mirko IS a Great preparer. !!!!
