This Day in meteorite History...

43.7g of the Sacramento Wash 005 meteorite was found by Jim Smaller on October 29, 2005.
A very important find considering this meteorite has a total known weight of only 52.3 grams and is one of only five approved meteorites classified as an H-metal type meteorite.


Another event that happend on this day in meteorite history was the finding of a 17.1 kg mass of the De Hoek meteorite on October 29, 1967.
Classified as an Iron-ung this meteorite has a total known weight of 20.93 kg and the find added the majority of the TKW that has been reported.
