Suizhou

The Suizhou meteorite fell in the Suizhou area in Hubei, China at 6:50pm local time on April 15th, 1986. Approximately 12 individuals were recovered after the fall with a Total Known Weight listed as 70kg. Despite the reasonable amount recovered, virtually all of it has remained at the Academy of Sciences in China except for a few kilograms which have been distributed to a number of other museums and institutions around the world. Suizhou is classified as an Ordinary Chondrite, L6 and being a relatively quickly recovered fall, displays a beautiful rich fresh fusion crust. This specimen is part of the Meteorites Australia Collection (MA.05.0013).
