Fell 2002 February
Achondrite (monomict basaltic eucrite)
A 252 g stone with black shiny fusion crust was found on March 22 in the roof of a building, in a hole in the insulating material. Water was first observed leaking from the ceiling inside the building at 8:30 am on March 18, 2002. The stone had broken into 2 fragments (238.9 g and 13 g) upon impact. Taking into account the local amount of rainfall in the previous days, the absorption of water by the porous insulating material and the distance between the hole in the roof and the leak in the ceiling, leads to an estimate that the fall took place between February 3 and February 14.
