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.

This is the 49 kg Thule-fragment found in 1955. Pictures from the discovery day were published in the book "Road map to the Indian's Treasure", 2012. |

Great rock! I wonder why it was called the Tent. I don't see the resemblance. |
