Baszkówka, Stony meteorite in Baszkówka village, Poland

The Baszkówka meteorite specimen weighs 15,630 grams and displays characteristic regmaglypts patterns that radiate from its vertex point.

On August 25, 1994, at 4:00 PM, the meteorite fell near Baszkówka village, 23 kilometers south of Warsaw, accompanied by a helicopter-like sound.

The Geological Museum PIG-PIB in Warsaw maintains this meteorite in its collection, making it available for public viewing since early 2023.

Krzysztof Grodzki discovered the meteorite 25 centimeters deep in the ground and stored it in his garage for several months before scientific examination.

The Baszkówka meteorite shares mineral composition with Mount Tazerzait, suggesting they originated from the same meteoroid source in space.
