Buzzard Coulee meteorite, Meteorite impact site near Marsden, Saskatchewan, Canada
The meteorite fragments scattered across a 20-square-kilometer debris field near the Battle River valley contain high metal content and distinct mineralogical features.
On November 20, 2008, over 400 witnesses reported seeing a bright fireball entering Earth's atmosphere at 17:30 MST across Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, and North Dakota.
Local residents and scientists collaborated in collecting more than one thousand meteorite fragments, making it the largest meteorite recovery effort in Canadian history.
The meteorite fragments, ranging from 10 grams to 13 kilograms, are accessible for research at various scientific institutions across Saskatchewan.
Ellen Milley, a University of Calgary Master's student, discovered the first fragments while working with Dr. Alan Hildebrand on November 27, 2008.
