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 :)

Bernd writes:
This R3-6 Rumuruti has a very fresh clast- and sulfide-rich matrix. There are light gray to almost black angular fragments in a fine-grained grayish groundmass. Chondrules are sparse and small (0.25-0.45 mm). One small (0.3 x 0.1 mm) rectangular Ni-rich metallic inclusion detected.
