Beautiful 24.5g, Aba Panu Meteorite 28.0g, polished full slice

Description

Aba Panu is a unique meteorite for several reasons. It was tracked by NASA before entering the atmosphere, it is a very primitive L3.6 chondrite, and it has little to no fusion crust, as this meteorite would fracture under the surface on entry and the outer layers would spall off, exposing unaltered matrix. This slice has fantastic chondrules, and a great polish. Here's the story of Aba Panu.
On the afternoon of 19 April 2018, a large fireball detonated over the Nigerian state of Oyo. This fireball was recorded by NASAs Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) as event 2018-04-19 14:02:27. The meteoroid entered at 20.9 km/s and detonated at an altitude of 30 km at 7.5’N, 3.6’E releasing a calculated total impact energy of 0.23 kt. Stones were collected at multiple locations. The meteorite is named for the village of Aba Panu near the center of the strewn-field.
