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 :)

Sikhote-Alin is my favorite meteorite. The variety of sizes, shapes and surface structures of the individual meteorites from this shower never cease to amaze me. Here is a highly oriented, mushroom-shaped specimen.
