"The  main mass of the Sutter's Mill meteorite fall (on April 22, 2012,  California's Sierra foot hills), SM 53 weighing 205 gram, was acquired  by a consortium of five institutions on August 21, 2013 for permanent  preservation and scientific research purposes. The X-ray CT  scan of the main mass shows the cutlines for the five institutions:  University of California at Davis, California (cyan 5%), Arizona State  University in Tempe, Arizona (yellow 13%), the Smithsonian Institution's  National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (red 32%),  American Museum of Natural History in New York City (green 34%), and The  Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago (blue 16%).
This is the  first consortium meteorite acquisition that was X-ray CT scanned prior  to its division, allowing its cutting with prior knowledge of the  contents of each piece with advanced intelligence of the 3-D internal  distribution of the types of material.
The X-ray CT was performed at  Center for Molecular and Genomic Imaging at UC Davis by Dr. Doug Rowland  with Xradia MicroXCT-200 for the consortium.
