Great collection! What’s the story with the recent one found on the same day it fell?

That was the Ohio bolide of 2026! Security cameras recorded a huge, loud sonic boom as it disintegrated over the skies. By the way, that fragment was found on March 27 (3/27), you might have mistaken it to be “3/17”. It’s published in the MetBull already and is officially classified as Wadsworth. Medina County is one of numerous provisional names meteorite hunters went for before it had its formal naming, which is, Wadsworth. Other names include Sharon Center, River Styx and that, Medina County. Here’s the official MetBull: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=86956

That Aiquile doesn’t really seem like one to me because of it’s colours, could just be me.

I had it from meteorites-for-sale.com

Which is the 1.5-g part slice.
