The Clipperton meteorite was found by St. Petersburg
geologists S.M. Tibunov, Yu.I. Tomanovskaya, and G.N. Starukhina
during petrographical study of trawl samples from the Central Pacific.
The samples were raised from a depth of 5200 m 2000 km southeast of
Hawaii, near the Clipperton and Clarion faults. This was the first
meteorite found on the ocean bottom. |
