This is a fragment of the famous Ash Creek  Texas fall from Feb 15, 2009.  (also called "West Texas")  This fall was widely observed and created a media circus as dozens of meteorite hunters descended on the area to search local farms for additional specimens.  At least one stone  struck a tool shed, bounced, and landed at the feet of a witness.  Another meteorite was discovered by Hopper the Dog (a pet of a local farmer).  Ash Creek is rarely seen in small aff....]]>

Indochinite tektites were formed hundreds of thousands of years ago when a massive meteorite impacted the Earth.  Molten debris from the catastrophic impact was thrown high into the atmosphere and then fell back to Earth as odd glass-like objects.  The objects are called tektites and these particular tektites come from Thailand (hence the name Indochinite).  Each tektite is unique and could be considered a fossil object.  Their composition is very strange - not quite Earthly,....]]>

<![CDATA[Trinitite - Historic Atom Bomb Glass - Big Fragment with Natural Hole!]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/trinitite-historic-atom-bomb-glass-big-fragment-with-natural-hole $69.00
Trinitite was formed during the historic Trinity test of the world's first atomic bomb. Large amounts of desert sand and debris were vaporized into the mushroom cloud and the ground below was liquified into blobs. These blobs cooled and solidified into Trinitite. Collection of new Trinitite samples is now prohibited and access to the old testing site is blocked. The only Trinitite on the market is old stock from before the 1950's ban. This material is safe to own (stored properly) because the mo....]]>

The massive Bendego meteorite (over 5 tons!) was first discovered in 1784 near a small river in the Monte Santo area (Bahia province) of Brazil.  During the first attempt to transport the meteorite, it was moved across a bridge and the structure gave way under the immense weight.  The bridge fell into the water and the meteorite sank to the bottom of the river.   It took over 100 years for the technology to recovery the meteorite from it's watery tomb.  During the raisin....]]>
