Santa Filomena, Pernambuco Brazil. Fell 19 August 2020 10:30 am.

Chondrite. Breccia

Hundreds of people are searching for pieces and more are being found each day. This is a 399 gram fragment showing amazing shocked interior. One mass of ~40 kilograms has been found as well as about 8-10 kg of smaller stones. One smashed through a roof and landed on a bed. Another 2.8 kilogram oriented stone landed on top of the town bar in the plaza.
