£ 10 000 – 15 000
In southern Morocco at 9:30 pm on July 9, 2014, an intense fireball traveling southeasterly was followed by multiple sonic booms heard 220 kilometers from the site of impact. One week later, Michael Farmer arrived on he scene to search for material amongst the rocky strewn field that resulted in most meteorite specimens shattering on impact.
Tirhert is also one of only two witnessed falls of an unbrecciated eucrite. It originated from the asteroid Vesta, from which it was ejected into an Earth-crossing orbit following a collision with another asteroid.
Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
