Pierre-Marie writes:
"Bingol" meteorite fell on September 2, 2015, in Turkey, not far from Syria. It's under classification but is undoubtedly a howardite. Hundreds or thousands of stones were recovered by locals and by Turkish universities and NASA. This particular specimen was purchased by Mike Farmer in Turkey in the strewnfield.
