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 :)

Here's one of my three Bassikounou specimens, a 13.85 gr part-slice with beautiful pristine black crust. Finely dispersed FeNi specks cross the slice from the upper left to the lower right but some areas are totally devoid of them. The interior is light gray and looks mottled.
