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 :)

9.3 and 10.08 gram full slices, each with a large CAI. CV3 TKW 115.1 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased 2019, Erfoud, Morocco. From the MetBul: Carbonaceous chondrite composed of well-defined chondrules (mean diameter about 1 mm), CAIs (up to 3 mm), and olivine amoeboids all set into a fine-grained almost black matrix. Type II chondrules are absent. Most chondrules show reddish staining due to terrestrial weathering. Visit My Web Site
