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 :)

I got tired of all the themes and background images that are on my computer so I decided to create a collection of thin section images.

I selected a small piece from each thin section photo and cropped it down to what you see here, which is:

Vaca Muerta (Mesosiderite-A1)

D'Orbigny (Angrite)

Brenham (Pallasite, PMG-an)

NWA 12692 (LL3.00)

Tissint (Martian (shergottite))


but not in that order. Can you match the names to the pictures?

Check back here tomorrow for the answers.

The correct sequence is D'Orbigny, Brenham, NWA 12692, Vaca Muerta, Tissint.

Congratulations to Ms. Black - you win the cigar (chocolate, of course)!
