East Uweinat Desert, Egypt
Found: 19 February 2009
Classification: Iron meteorite (ungrouped)
History: A total of about 1600 kg of iron meteorite shrapnel (thousands of pieces), ranging in mass from <1 to 35,000 g, plus a single 83 kg individual completely covered with well developed regmaglypts, was found in and around the 45 m diameter Kamil impact crater by an Italian-Egyptian geophysical team in February 2009 and February 2010. Approximately 800 kg of the total mass observed in the field (the regmaglypted individual inclusive) was recovered. The Kamil crater was identified by V. De Michele, former curator of the Natural History Museum in Milan, Italy. The geophysical survey was carried out within the framework of the "2009 Italian-Egyptian Year of Science and Technology."
