Bunburra Rockhole (meteorite)

[edit]

Bunburra Rockhole is an achondrite of the Eucrite classification; a group of meteorites that likely originated from the asteroid 4 Vesta. This meteorite was observed to fall by the Desert Fireball Network (DFN) on July 21, 2007 at 04:43:56 local time in the Nullarbor plain region of South Australia. Two fragments were recovered by the DFN, weighing a total mass of 324g (150g and 174g). The fragments were found within 100m from the predicted fall site.
