[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Beni M'Hira !

[Fabien Kuntz]

Happy Birthday to the Beni M'Hira meteorite !


Today we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the most important recovered and witnessed fall of 2001... As you maybe know, the Meteor-Center and WWMeteorites teams investigated, hunted, and mapped this interesting, forgotten for a decade, strewnfield during 5  different trips in Tunisia during the october 2012 - december 2013 period.

Wefound over 190 meteorites (for a cumulate desert walk of more than 800  km !), including nice individuals, a few oriented ones. The map and data for each one have been published in our book, "Beni M'Hira, the forgotten meteorite" :

After our last trip in early december 2013, with less finds this time, as  expected after efficiently hunting the ellipse in the previous times, we decided to update our website with new specimens and some older from our lowered stock...

Most specimens will come with "in situ" pictures and the exact GPS data on the identification card.
