Hi all,
After seeing this tiny Holbrook meteorite I found - I started
wondering. What is the smallest complete meteorite?
Here's mine

Hi Ruben and List,
That is an awesome little Holbrook. I have a Chergach pea that is
only a little bigger than your Holbrook pea.
I'm not sure if a spheroid counts as a meteorite, but I have a vial
full of CD spheroids and some of them are much smaller than a poppy
seed.
Best regards and happy

Revelstoke BC - Type: CI fell March 31, 1965.
Two small fragments about one gram total.
Vilna Alberta - L5. Fell Feb. 5, 1967.
Two small crusted fragments 48mg and 94mg.
Probably one of those is the smallest meteorite fall.

List,
Five years ago Michel Franco Fred Beroud ran a contest for smallest
oriented meteorite. Irons and stones were judged separately. They were
kind enough to leave the results posted.

I believe there was a .3 gram Canadian find on a snow bank. It was only
noticed
by virtue of the contrast and if I recall the finder was a
technician/scientist
in the astronomy/space program field(???) walking out of his work

Of course, there is a continuum of
meteorite sizes down through
micrometeorites to dust, all of which have been collected
on Earth. The

I have 100% crusted Bensour stones way under 1/10th gram.

Hi List,
My two smallest complete meteorites are Chergach peas. One weighs
436mg (but has a chip in the crust) and the other is 787mg and is 100%
crusted.
I'd post photos, but both of camera batteries are dead, so I'll post
some photos of them later. :)
Mike Farmer - those Bensours sound like

I think it would be an awesome time for us all to post a picture or two of
small sub gram complete fusion crusted stones we have in our collection.
Would be very neat to see some of what everyone has!
