Bencubbin

This is one of the strangest meteorite types known. It is a type of carbonaceous chondrite but has now been given its own class of meteorites, the Bencubbinites. This is the type specimen. Bencubbin was found in Western Australia in July of 1930. Two large stones were found. Most of this meteorite is in the Western Australia Museum in Perth, so very little has ever been available to collectors.

 Bencubbin is the type specimen for the Bencubbinite class of meteorites since it was the first one recognized as a unique type.
