Eichstädt – one of the most historical European falls: February 19, 1785.

Very fresh and well preserved 20.2g Eichstädt fragment with some crust, 25 x 24 x 17 mm. The crusted area is about 22 x 15 mm

University trade 1990

The thin section with some colourful mineral inclusions shows a nice variety of different chondrules and chondrule fragments. The black spots are opaque FeNi inclusions. Eichstädt is a typical looking H5 chondrite.

Dimensions of the thin section are about 13 x 9 mm.

Chladni (1756-1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research (Meteoritics 31-5, 1996, 545-588, p. 552): "...the countryside was covered with a foot of snow, a worker at a brick kiln saw it fall from the clouds after a violent thunderclap. The man rushed to the spot but found the black stone too hot to pick up until it cooled in the snow."
