Description
English: This meteorite fell on June 23, 2009 in Cochise County, Arizona. The fireball was captured by the All-Sky camera at the UA-Multiple-Mirror Telescope facility on Mt. Hopkins and also by a security camera. Jack Schrader recovered the first specimens of this H5 breccia. Whetstone Mountains marked the first Arizona witnessed fall in nearly 100 years when the Holbrook fall occurred. This partial slice has fresh black fusion crust along one edge and despite it's diminutive size it shows nice brecciation. The TKW for this witnessed fall is only ~3 kgs.
