DescriptionBenld Meteorite cast FMNH.jpg |
Benld Meteorite (cast of FMNH Me 2259) - in 1938, a car in a garage was hit by a meteorite. The Benld Meteorite impacted at about 9 AM on 29 September 1938 in the town of Benld, Macoupin County, south-central Illinois, USA. It struck a small wooden garage, crashed through the garage ceiling & then the car roof, and even through the car’s back seat and floorboards. It bounced off the car’s muffler & stopped in a seat cushion. The original muffler & back seat & garage roof are on display at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH). Benld is an H-chondrite, principally composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, plus some Fe-Ni metal. The original mass weighed 1.77 kg (= 3.9 pounds). |
