It fell on April 3, 1984, near the village of Bogga Dingare in Yobe State, Nigeria. Witnesses described the event as a brilliant fireball moving from west to east, followed by an explosion. The meteorite landed in a cornfield, where locals broke it into several pieces and took them as talismans. The exact original weight of the meteorite is unknown but is estimated to be around 100 kg.\nComposition and formation of the Gujba meteorite\nGujba is composed of large ellipsoidal metallic and silicate nodules, with some silicate nodules containing fan-shaped aggregates of fine-grained pyroxene. It is believed to have formed as a result of a catastrophic impact on a chondritic asteroid billions of years ago, which created an impact cloud from which the meteorite condensed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58028601344325,"sku":"MEGU04","price":212.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/39881-2_meteorite-gujba-0-27g---nigeria.jpg?v=1779383325","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/meteorite-gujba-027g-nigeria-megu04","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
