Dear Dawndroids,
Dawn is continuing to gently and patiently change its orbit around the
sun. In September, it left Vesta, a complex and fascinating world it
had accompanied for 14 months, and
Hello Everyone,
Last week I offered a big selection of larger and nice NWA 869 stones. I

there! These will be on a Best Offer 'considered' sale.

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!!
As Jeff Grossman uncovered, the smallest object named byu the NMomenclature
Committee is Y 8333 which weighs 12 mg. It corresponds to a particle about
2 mm in diameter.

Canada shares the record for smallest fall with Japan. Vilna fell in 1967 in
Alberta and has a classified weight of 0.1 gram. Yoshinko Japan fell 1928 and
also classified at 0.1 grams.

Dang, I missed those - my search procedure was flawed.

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
I have a fully crusted Bensour from Morocco that only weighs .03 grams.
Thanks, Derek.

I thought Revelstok Canada which was just a smudge in the snow held the record.

Did not go through every new approved meteorite, but let's all congratulate
Adam Bates on his approval and unique classification - the only R3.5-4.
Congrats Adam!

Hi Mendy -- had no idea my Cuddeback find was a candidate for smallest meteorite
(though I see
there are a number of others that are less than 100 mg)... --Rob

Last decade I worked on VIIRS for about two years up in Goleta, CA, so it's nice

It is amazing to me that such tiny specimens are recognized and
recovered. Is it blind luck? Or just a very keen eye and a very
thorough search?
PS - Dr. Rubin did a tiny one for me - 10g, NWA 6696, an LL3.6. It's
not the smallest, but it's still pretty darn small, albeit a
pretty-looking
