726 gram individual

Fantastic transitional piece.  This specimen was torn apart seconds from impact by the blast.  The top and sides show the normal regmaglypted characteristics of a Sikhote-alin individual.  The bottom was sheared along the crystaline plane.  In 20 years of dealing with Sikhote-alin, a small percentage display these features.  This is a good one!!!

This specimen measures 95 mm by 60 mm by 45 mm at widest points.
