Description: Mr. Mallam Yahava
Muhammad of Hadejia, Nigeria, observed a brilliant fireball
moving south to north. Two loud detonations were heard several
minutes later. Mr. Mallam Audu and several neighbors in Kilabo
heard the stone fall and later recovered it. The meteorite was
found in the crater measuring 35 cm wide by 20 cm deep in sandy
soil. The meteorite had fragmented on impact into many pieces,
the largest of which was 2.2 kg. A total weight of ~7 kg was
recovered. Stones were recovered in five villages in the region,
with the largest piece in Kilabo. Classification (P. Sipiera,
Harper, and M. Zolensky, JSC): Olivine Fa31.1, CaO <0.09,
predominantly <0.05. Low Ca-pyroxene, Fs27.1 PMD = 0.02.
Abundant coarse grained plagioclase, mainly An84Or5, ranges from
An61Or25 to An86Or3. Coarse grained diopside and troilite is
abundant, pentlandite is a minor phase. The meteorite is
brecciated, with thick black shock veins present. Shock stage is
S3, weathering grade is W0. Specimens: type specimen, 30 g, PSF.
(from Meteoritical Bulletin 87, preprint) A newspaper article about the fall can
be found here. The meteorite is highly brecciated and appears to be a
polymict regolith breccia in places. Samples vary widely in
texture.
