Millbillillie meteorite is a meteorite named after the cattle station in Australia on which it fell in October 1960.[1]
History[edit]
21.78 grams (0.768 oz) complete specimen.
A fireball was observed "with sparks coming off it" by two stationworkers while they were opening a gate in the boundary fence on a track between Millbillillie and Jundee cattle stations.[1] The object fell on a plain to the north.[1] No search was made at the time but in 1970 and 1971 locals found two stones; Aboriginals have found others since.[1] The largest stone weighed 20 kilograms (44 lb).[1] It and a smaller one of 565 grams (19.9 oz) are held by the Western Australian Museum.[1]
As of January 2013[update] pieces of Millbillillie were on sale for around US$22/g.[2]
