The PETERSBURG Meteorite is an Achondrite - Polymict Eucrite type, that Fell to Earth on August 5th, 1855 at 15:30hrs, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, USA.
After explosions were heard, a stone weighing 1.8 kg was found. There is very little of this meteorite in private collections, making this a very rare specimen.
