Pallasite, Main Group (PMG)
Found in 1967, 323.3 kg
The larger specimen has been found in June 1967 by the geologist F. A. Mednikov during a geological survey. The meteorite hardly seen was lying among the stones of a brook-bed, affluent of the River Hekandue (a left tributary of River Yasachnaya). The smaller specimen was found at a distance of 20 m from the first one by I. H. Markov with a mine detector in October 1967. The main mass was turned to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
According to the data provided by McKibbinn et al. (2019), olivine is forsterite with an average composition Fa10.96.
