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 :)

There is very little info on this meteorite. MinDat is definitely worth a look and gives more information on the mass.

Here is an excerpt from page 43 of "Meteorites - A Photographic Study of Surface Features, Part 2, Orientation" by H. H. Nininger:
This magnificent stone was recovered through the activities of the American Meteorite Laboratory directed by Glenn Huss in a location adjacent to an earlier find in Greeley County, Kansas. Field work was begun in this area in the mid-thirties and the area has been intermittently worked ever since, yet this beautiful stone did not come to light until 1971!

Of course I took a picture of this wonderful, oriented celestial visitor!
