Window Butte, Utah
Single 187g specimen found in 1991
Primitive Achondrite, Brachinite, 1.6g
This is one of only eighteen approved meteorites classified as Brachinites. The Meteorite Nomenclature Committee renamed this meteorite Nova 003 because of uncertainty in the discovery location and the Meteoritical Bulletin Database gives "Australia?" as its origin. The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System lists it as "Window Butte, a new 187-g find (1991) from Utah" in an article, "Brachinites: A New Primitive Achondrite Group" published in 1992, one year after the meteorite's discovery.
