A meteorite fell in an uncultivated field near Pipliya-Kalan, Rajastha n, at about 8.30 p.m. on 20 June 1996. The meteorite is an aggregate o f welded angular fragments of basaltic rock of variable granularity. I ts basaltic composition and genomictic welded brecciated structure imp lies eucritic association. We give here a concise geological informati on report (GIR) of the meteorite with its electron-probe data.
