Here is a truly unique and beautifully oriented meteorite! It is a fully crusted 12.97g Gao-Guenie specimen with rear frothing from atmospheric passage. There is also an unusual lip around the side of the piece where material seemed to have been moving backwards but stopped before reaching the trailing side. For more information on the Gao-Guenie fall see the December 2003 Monthly Favourite. This specimen is part of the Meteorites Australia Collection (MA.05.0077).
