Description Fell October 16, 1975 in Tuxtuac, Zacatecas, Mexico. While 2 stones were found shortly after the fall, the 25 kg main mass wasn't recovered until 1989. When ranchers made the main mass discovery they noted that grass was growing out from cracks in the fusion crust! This meteorite is classified as a LL5 chondrite. This nice partial slice weighs 3.738 grams.
