Hoba Meteorite

The Hoba meteorite is the largest to ever have been found on Earth.  The Hoba meteorite was found in Namibia, Africa in 1920.  This meteorite, which landed some 80,000 years ago, is composed of iron and weighs a hefty 60,000 kg.  It still lies in its original resting spot in Namibia, Africa.

The Williamette meteorite found in Oregon is the largest meteorite found in the United States.  It was found in 1902 in the Williamette Valley of Oregon.  It is now on display at the American Museum of Natural History.
