2.6 gram slice of one of the best oriented meteorites ever recovered (http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/test/baszkowka.jpg). Baszkowka fell August 25, 1994 in Poland.
The fall was observed by Halina Grodzki in the village Baszk6wka, 23 km SSW of Warszawa. A moment before she heard a sonic boom, she saw a movement on the surface of cultivated land, -200 m away from her. Krzysztof Grodzki located a circular area of fresh ground -2 m wide and recovered the stone from 25 cm under the surface. It is an oriented stone of 15.5 kg with radial regmaglypts on the "Brustseite".
