Today I’d like to show you a very special meteorite: JaH 073. What’s so special about it? Well, it’s the find circumstances and also the reason why it found its way into my meteorite collection. It was found by my meteorite buddy Hanno Strufe on January 19th, 2009, at exactly 12:36 hrs as the in situ photo with his Garmin and the find coordinates clearly shows. It was Hanno’s birthday gift to me six and a half years ago when I turned 70. I still love and cherish this very personal birthday gift!

The JaH 073 strewn field was discovered in the Omani desert in 2002. More than 3400 fragments scattered over an area of more than 60 km,sup>2 have been collected and the total mass discovered is ~ 600 kg. The main mass weighs 52.2 kg. The pre-atmospheric minimum radius of the meteoroid was at least 75 cm. Its terrestrial age is ~ 18 ka.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas from Germany
