dc.description.abstractThis report summarizes laboratory and other data of a new meteorite that fell in southern Tanzania in July, 2003. This data is required by the Meteoritical Society for registration and approval of the proposed name. The rock fragments were originally collected by locals and later identified and studied in Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) during next years. Earlier contacts and previous scientific co-operation between University of Dar Es Salaam, the Geological Survey of Tanzania (GST) and GTK enabled this study. The meteorite was identified as polymict brecciated achondritic howardite. It is proposed that it should be named Kilimani according to the village in which it fell. The meteorite is the 10th known from Tanzania. So far nine meteorites were known from Tanzania (see Grady 2000). Ivuna and Mbozi are the most widely known Tanzanian meteorites. Nine out of these now ten Tanzanian meteorites are witnessed falls.en_US
