Kapoeta is a howardite meteorite that fell in 1942 near Kapoeta, in the territory now belonging to South Sudan. Howardites are breccias made from mixed fragments of eucrite and diogenite material, recording impacts that excavated and recombined rocks from different levels of a differentiated asteroi...
Why this score
Large well-studied howardite, solar wind and regolith record, major HED reference.
Scoring methodology
Juvinas is a basaltic eucrite meteorite that fell in Ardèche, France, in 1821. Eucrites are achondrites derived from basaltic igneous rocks, and they form part of the HED clan together with howardites and diogenites. Juvinas is an early and substantial studied fall whose mineralogy and texture provi...

Classic eucrite fall, early achondrite studies, important HED volcanic reference.
Scoring methodology
Stannern is a eucrite meteorite that fell in Moravia, in the present-day Czech Republic, on 22 May 1808. Eucrites are basaltic achondrites belonging to the HED clan and are generally interpreted as material from the crust of the asteroid Vesta. Stannern gives its name to the Stannern trend, a geoche...
Why this score
Namesake Stannern-trend eucrite, historic fall, important anomalous geochemical reference.
Scoring methodology
Tatahouine is a diogenite meteorite that fell near Tataouine in southern Tunisia on 27 June 1931. It consists mainly of orthopyroxene and represents deep crustal material from a differentiated asteroid; diogenites form part of the HED meteorite clan generally associated with Vesta. The fall produced...
Why this score
Classic diogenite fall, cultural name association, good HED mantle-crust research value.
Scoring methodology
Millbillillie is a eucrite meteorite associated with a witnessed fireball over Western Australia in October 1960, although stones were recovered years later. Eucrites are basaltic achondrites within the howardite-eucrite-diogenite group and are generally linked to the crust of asteroid 4 Vesta. Mill...
Why this score
Large Australian eucrite fall, attractive black stones, strong collector and research presence.
Scoring methodology
Johnstown is a diogenite meteorite that fell near Johnstown, Colorado, in July 1924 after a witnessed fireball and detonations. About 23 kilograms of material were recovered, making it a substantial documented diogenite fall. Its coarse-grained, orthopyroxene-rich composition places it within the ho...
Why this score
Large diogenite fall, coarse-grained type material, strong HED research importance.
Scoring methodology
Nuevo Laredo is a eucrite that fell in Coahuila, Mexico in 1926 and gives its name to the Nuevo Laredo geochemical trend, a distinct subgroup within the HED eucrite family.
Why this score
Namesake eucrite geochemical trend, solid classification importance, moderate wider fame.
Scoring methodology
Pasamonte is a polymict eucrite breccia that fell in New Mexico, USA in 1933, notable for containing diverse lithological clasts representing the ancient regolith of asteroid 4 Vesta.
Why this score
Polymict eucrite fall with diverse clasts, important breccia studies, moderate recognition.
Scoring methodology
A howardite meteorite that fell in Finland in 1813, one of the earliest documented howardite falls and a polymict breccia from the HED parent body.
Why this score
Early documented howardite fall, important historical class sample, moderate modern fame.
Scoring methodology
Camel Donga is a eucrite meteorite discovered in 1984 on the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia. It was recovered as numerous fragments distributed across a strewn field, indicating that the incoming body broke apart before or during impact. Eucrites are basaltic achondrites in the howardite-eucri...
Why this score
Nullarbor eucrite strewn field, useful recovered material, moderate specialist reputation.
Scoring methodology
Bilanga is a diogenite meteorite that fell in Burkina Faso in 1999, producing numerous recoverable fragments. Diogenites are coarse-grained achondrites dominated by magnesium-rich orthopyroxene and belong to the howardite-eucrite-diogenite, or HED, association. They are generally interpreted as mate...
Why this score
Large witnessed diogenite fall, fresh material, solid specialist reputation.
Scoring methodology
Sioux County is a eucrite meteorite that fell in Nebraska in 1933. Eucrites are basaltic achondrites formed from cooled magma on a differentiated parent body and belong to the howardite-eucrite-diogenite, or HED, meteorite association. Sioux County has been used as comparative material in laboratory...
Why this score
Standard eucrite reference sample, useful HED studies, modest public profile.
Scoring methodology
Shalka is a diogenite meteorite that fell in Bihar, India, in 1850. Diogenites belong to the HED clan of differentiated achondrites and consist largely of magnesium-rich orthopyroxene, representing igneous material formed within the crust of a differentiated parent body. HED meteorites are commonly...
Why this score
Early diogenite fall, historically useful, less prominent than Johnstown or Tatahouine.
Scoring methodology
Petersburg is a meteorite that fell near Petersburg, Tennessee, in 1855 and is classified as a howardite. Howardites are polymict breccias containing material related to eucrites and diogenites, rock types generally interpreted as originating from the crust of the differentiated asteroid 4 Vesta. Th...
Why this score
Historic howardite fall, useful HED breccia, lower prominence than Kapoeta.
Scoring methodology
Le Teilleul is a howardite meteorite that fell near Le Teilleul in Normandy, France, in 1845. Howardites are polymict breccias containing mixed fragments of eucrite-like and diogenite-like material, linking them to the howardite-eucrite-diogenite, or HED, meteorite clan. These meteorites are general...
Why this score
Early howardite fall, historical value, moderate scientific distinctiveness.
Scoring methodology
Bereba is a eucrite meteorite that fell in present-day Burkina Faso in 1924. Eucrites are basaltic achondrites within the howardite-eucrite-diogenite group, recording igneous activity on a differentiated parent body widely associated with asteroid 4 Vesta. Bereba is therefore studied as extraterrest...
Why this score
Recognized eucrite fall, useful HED basalt sample, limited distinctive reputation.
Scoring methodology
Haraiya is a howardite meteorite that fell in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Howardites are a group of achondritic meteorites formed from the surface regolith of asteroid 4 Vesta.
