Thank you Alan.
Yamato 8333: collected by the members of the National Institute of
Polar Research, Japan, in 1983. Classified as an H5, and only 10mg
(0.010g) according to the Met Bulletin Database.
I supposed the only reason it was found is that it stood out, so to
speak, on white or blue ice.
Thanks.

Hello,
This question came up on another forum.
What is the smallest meteorite known? And I mean: still recognizable
(classifiable) as a meteorite.
And no, I am not talking about the highly questionable
micrometeorites
supposedly found in gutters.
I am sure one of you will know the answer!!
Thanks.
