Millbillillie, Stony meteorite site near Wiluna, Western Australia.

The Millbillillie meteorite features a black fusion crust with flow lines and contains light gray material visible through surface chips.

Two station workers witnessed the meteorite fall in October 1960, observing sparks while opening a gate between Millbillillie and Jundee stations.

Local Aboriginal communities contributed to meteorite research by locating additional fragments across the fall area after initial discoveries.

The Western Australian Museum preserves the largest recovered stone, weighing 20 kilograms, along with a smaller 565-gram specimen.

The meteorite shower produced 330 kilograms of material classified as eucrite achondrite, formed from cooled magma on Asteroid 4-Vesta.

Location: Western Australia
