Juancheng Meteorite - Chondrite H5 - 27.3 g - Observed fall collection

Juancheng Meteorite

A shower of small stones fell near the Yellow River after a brilliant fireball with smoke and sparks terminated in a loud, resonating explosion. The fall area measured ~10.5 x 4.3 km, oriented east-west. The largest recovered piece weighed 2.7 kg, and the total mass is >100 kg. One fragment was reported to have penetrated a roof and landed in a pot on a stove.

Specimen labeled as No. 43 - 27.3 grams.

The original sticker is part of the history of this specimen and may indicate the order in which it was found, so I am not removing it.
