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 :)

29.93 gram slice.   Winonaite

TKW 1240 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased in 2020 from a dealer in Morocco.

Classification: Primitive achondrite (Winonaite)

This Winonaite is one of the most aesthetic ever seen. (The golden yellow brownish parts are Troilite, possibly a bit of Schreibersite.) A quick look at this meteorite reminds me somehow of Portales Valley. I can only hope that after the etch no rust will develop over time.

A very interesting and beautiful slice indeed! It also reminds me of some of the nicer slices of Punggar that I've seen recently (an H7 melt).
