A shower of fireballs fell in thick forest in the Sikhote-Alin Mts., 25 miles from Novopoltavka, Maritime Province, producing 106 impact holes, the largest 28 metres across, over an area of 100 x 660 metres, and many fragments, up to 300 kg in weight, totalling over 23000 kg, were found scattered inside and outside the holes.
Specimens: 1745 kg Moscow, Acad. Sci., principal mass, and other specimens; 4 kg Washington, U. S. Nat. Mus.; 4.9 kg Copenhagen, Univ. Geol. Mus.; 7 kg Albuquerque, Univ. of New Mexico; 3.3 kg Tempe, Arizona State Univ.; 3 kg Prague, Nat. Mus.; 1.6 kg London, British Museum (NH).
We have a very large inventory of Sikhote Alin at the present time and space does not allow us to list each specimen. Please contact us and tell us what your "dream" Sikhote Alin looks like and we'll surely find it. |
