Millbillillie, eucrite

Millbillillie is an odd one; it was apparently witnessed to fall in October 1960, but no one bothered to track down the fireball until ~ a decade later.  From The Western Australian Museum meteorite collection, by Alex Bevan.

The Meteoritical Bulletin entry contains a little more information:

writeupI personally doubt that Millbillillie is associated with a 1960 fireball.  The fusion crust on many stones is quite abraded; I would not expect that kind of weathering to occur in just a decade.  Compare to the weathering of Indian Butte or Tenham.  Both exhibit some staining and oxidation, but no mechanical weathering.  Regardless…

This stone came from Walter Zeitschel.  It is oriented and weighs 108.5 grams.  Most Millbillillies exhibit flow lines, but this stone has a truly aerodynamic shape.
