Sikhote-Alin Picture of the Day                                                                        February 17, 2007
Oriented Sikhote-Alin
34.59 grams.   Note the triangular impact (center bottom photo) extending almost halfway across the face.   I doubt normal jostling during the fall would have done this damage.  It is more likely a trailing piece exploded and a fragment smacked this oriented piece nearly tearing the piece in half.
