WITNESSED FALL

PULTUSK
Stone. Chondrite (H5 veined)
Ciechanow, Poland
Fell January 30, 1868
Approx. recovered weight 999+ kg

At 7:00 in the evening, a bright fireball was seen and detonations were heard. Soon thereafter, a shower of stones, most recently estimated to have numbered about 180,000, fell in Pultusk, Poland. The stones encompassed an elliptical strewn field of 18 x 9 km (127 square km), with the largest stone weighing 9 kg and hundreds of others weighing at least 1 kg. A large portion of the stones collected were tiny, spherical-shaped stones, and are now known as "Pultusk peas". The total weight of the fall was most recently estimated to have been about 2,000 kg, with at least 200 kg of material being preserved. Pultusk is classified as a veined, brecciated, H5 chondrite, with a shock stage of S3.

SAHARA 97072
Stone. Enstatite chondrite (EH3)
Found somewhere in the Sahara
Found 1997

A large number of paired stones, weighing together about 28 kg, were found in the Sahara Desert by a French team. The weight of the main mass is 6,140 g, but many other large masses were found, including the 1,270 g SAH 97072. This is perhaps the most primitive EH3 chondrite found to date. It contains early nebular components, including well-defined, layered, silicate-, sulfide-, and metal-rich chondrules, FeO-rich silicates with broad compositional ranges, and refractory inclusions, and it has experienced very low degrees of thermal metamorphism.

SANTA CATHARINA
Iron. Ataxite, ungrouped (ATAX UNGR)
Santa Catarina, Brazil
Found 1875

Many large masses of this ungrouped, Ni-rich ataxite were found by Gonclaves da Rosa on the island of Sao Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The combined weight of the recovered masses was estimated to be at least 7,000 kg, but was probably much higher since a large portion was smelted to extract its unusually high content of nickel (~25-50%). Although much of this iron has been significantly oxidized, some metallic portions are preserved. The presence in Santa Catharina of the phosphide barringerite, a mineral usually unstable in association with metal, attests to a high cooling rate.

SARATOV
Stone. Chondrite (L4)
Saratovskaya, Russia
Fell September 6, 1918

 

At 3:00 in the afternoon, a bright fireball was seen and heard as several stones, totaling 328 kg, fell in Donguz and Belaya Gora, Russia. Saratov is not a typical L4 ordinary chondrite. It has a chondrule-rich composition with a friable matrix texture. More importantly, it contains a separate petrographic component - one consisting of highly porous, low-density, fine-grained aggregates, similar to interplanetary dust particles. This extremely fragile material, which was incorporated on the L chondrite parent asteroid, is usually vaporized as it enters the atmosphere; with Saratov, it can now be readily studied.

SAYH AL UHAYMIR 005
Stone. SNC (Shergottite)
Found November 26, 1999
Oman

Sayh al Uhaymir 005 comprises three masses weighing 561 g, 547 g, and 236 g, which were found very close to two other paired masses, weighing 7,805 g and 774 g, designated SaU 008. Continued searches of the area have recovered several additional paired masses - SaU 051, 060, 090, and 094 - bringing the total combined weight to over 10.7 kg. This is a fresh shergottite, with black fusion crust preserved to various degrees on the masses. SaU 005 is composed of large olivine megacrysts within a mostly pigeonite matrix, and exhibits features of high shock. Its texture, bulk chemistry, and noble gas signature are all very similar to the DaG 476 shergottite, but they are not paired.

Maritime Territory, Russia
Fell February 12, 1947
Approx. recovered weight: 27 Tons
Around 10:38 A.M. in the Sikhote-Alin mountains of eastern Siberia, people witnessed the largest single meteorite fall ever recorded. A huge roar was heared sending thoursands of meteorite fragments onto the frozen ground. A shower of fireballs fell in thick forest in the Sikhote-Alin mountains,25 miles from Novopoltavka, Maritime Province, producing 106 impact holes, the largest 28 metres across, over an area 100 x 660 metres, and many fragments, up to 300 kg in weight, totalling over 27000kg, were found scattered inside and outside the holes. The shockwave from the explosion was felt hundreds of miles away. A dark funnel-shaped smoke was visable in the sky. The largest single mass was recovered weight 1745kg and has an oriented shield-like shape. Oriented regmaglypted individual and Shrapnel type fragments were found.

Approx. recovered weight: 35 kg
On a typical Sunday in July, at 3:49 pm, hundreds of witnesses over a 100 km radius heard a prolonged, loud noise, which heralded the fall of a meteorite over the small mountainous country of Lesotho. Several stones narrowly missed hitting some villagers as they went about their daily activities. Over 600 fragments of this H4/5 chondrite, totaling about 30 kg, have been recovered on the Thuathe Plateau, its cliffs, and in the surrounding valley. The strewn field, which measures 7.4 km by 1.9 km and includes nine villages, was plotted by Professor Ambrose (National University of Lesotho). The Professor also compiled a comprehensive catalogue, recording specific details on about 85% of all of the fragments recovered.

TIERRA BLANCA

Castro County, Texas, USA
Found November 1965
Approx. recovered weight: 860g

A stone weighing 860 g, which was mostly covered by weathered fusion crust, was found by a rancher near Tierra Blanca Creek (translated as white earth creek). Tierra Blanca is a coarse-grained, highly recrystallized, primitive achondrite. It has an oxygen isotopic composition that plots in a similar region as silicates from IAB irons, suggesting that their formation occurred within a common nebular region, or on the same parent body. Moreover, winonaites are similar to silicates in IAB irons with respect to their chemistry, mineralogy, REE fractionation patterns, and silicate textures. The main mass of 465 g has recently been traded from the Dr. Elbert A. King Collection to a major museum.

Click image to enlarge

TUCSON  (TUCSON RING)
Iron. Ataxite, Ni-rich
Pima Country, Arizona
Found 1850


Specimen is from H.H. Nininger American Meteorite Lab #122a

The Tucson meteorite comprises two large masses — the 1,400 pound, ring-shaped, Irwin-Ainsa mass, alternately called the Ring, and the 633 pound, slab-shaped, Carleton mass. By volume, it is composed of 92% iron and 8% silicate inclusions, primarily forsteritic olivine, enstatite, and Al-rich diopside. Because Tucson cooled rapidly during crystallization, no Widmanstätten structure is revealed upon etching, and is therefore classified as an ataxite. The Tucson Ring can be viewed today at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, in the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals.

Zacatecas, Mexico
Fell October 16,1975

Two angular, mostly crusted stones, weighing 1,924 g and 2,340 g, fell in Zacatecas state, Mexico, at 6:20 in the evening. The coarse-grained interior of Tuxtuac contains small bubble-like voids within the silicates. Plagioclase compositions suggest that it experienced a two-stage thermal history on its parent body. Unlike most LL chondrites, Tuxtuac exhibits only minor shock features and no brecciation. Reflectance studies have found similarities between Tuxtuac and the Q-type asteroids.

Fell 1927

During daylight hours, a meteorite was seen and heard to fall near the railway station in Udei, Nigeria. A 103 kg silicated-iron was recovered from a shallow hole eight years later. Some reports tell of the existence of a second mass. Udei Station is a medium octahedrite with a high content of chondritic silicates and troilite, characteristic of the IAB group. Theories place an origin for this group within an impact melt pool, or in association with a crystallizing metallic core.

Over 4 tons of this brecciated, metal-silicate meteorite have been recovered in Atacama, Chile. Still, the pre-atmospheric mass is estimated to have been at least 10 tons. Vaca Muerta defines a strewn field with dimensions of 12 km x 2 km. Basaltic inclusions similar to cumulate eucrite material are present throughout this meteorite, but multiple lines of evidence suggest that mesosiderites and eucrites did not originate on a common parent body. Based on silicate matrix textures, Vaca Muerta has been placed into metamorphic subgroup 1A.

Found 1999, Morocco
Total recovered weight, only 300 grams

A 300 g, oriented, fusion-crusted stone was found in 1999 near the site of the Zag H3-6 chondrite fall in Morocco. Zag (b) is classified as an unbrecciated, primitive achondrite, rich in forsteritic olivine. The more Fe-rich olivine has been reduced to form sulfide and metal inclusions. Oxygen isotopes plot near the ungrouped primitive achondrite Divnoe, with a close relationship to the brachinites. Zag (b) also plots close to the primitive acapulcoite/lodranite group, and it is considered that all of these meteorites likely formed in the same nebular region from common precursor material.

ZAGAMI         **MARS METEORITE**      
Stone. Achondrite. Shergottite (SNC) Basalt
Katsina, Nigeria
Fell October 3, 1962

The circumstances of the fall of this 18 kg Martian meteorite were described by a farmer who was tending his cornfield at the time. After hearing a loud explosion, he was buffeted by a shock wave, and something impacted about ten feet away. Fearing that an artillery shell had landed, he cautiously allowed some moments to pass before inspecting the two-foot hole. Zagami is a Ca-rich, basaltic shergottite, consisting primarily of the clinopyroxenes, pigeonite and augite. The Mg-rich cores of the pyroxenes indicate that crystallization took place inside a slowly cooling, Tharsis-type, volcanic magma chamber, similar to Olympus Mons.
