The impact and recovery of asteroid 2008 TC 3
2009
On 6 October 2008, a small asteroid designated 2008 TC3 hit the Earth in northern Sudan. Jenniskens et al. searched along the approach trajectory and luckily found 47 bits of a meteorite named Almahata Sitta. Analysis reveals it to be a porous achondrite and a polymict ureilite, and so the asteroid was F-class (dark carbon-rich anomalous ureilites).
