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 :)

Fall Calendar           Dates reserved so far

Although the texture of this stone may look like a howardite, the meteorite does not meet the required 10% diogenite material to have that classification.

Howardites have been called the "soil" of Vesta...but they have deeper diogenite clasts which suggests that Polymict Eucrites with less Diogenite are more surface soil than Howardites are. There lies my puzzlement/question...
