On 11 September 1963, the Karatu meteorite fell at Tlae Daat, near Karatu, Arusha, Tanzania. A single stone of 2.2 kilograms was recovered. Karatu is an ordinary LL6 chondrite. The LL chondrites are somewhat lower in total iron content than 90% of the ordinary chondrites (e.g., the H and L chondrites). Like all ordinary chondrites, the LL chondrites are believed to be fragments of small or medium sized disrupted asteroids. Source
