A single stone of just over 11 kg was recovered from the Kapoeta-Nathalani road, giving the meteorite strong provenance and a well-documented place in meteorite history. As a Howardite, Kapoeta belongs to the HED meteorite family, a group widely associated with asteroid 4 Vesta. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eSpecimens of Kapoeta are composed of brecciated Eucritic and Diogenitic material, representing a mixture of surface and subsurface fragments from its parent body. This regolith breccia texture reflects repeated impact processing, where material was broken, mixed, buried, and compacted over time. Kapoeta is also especially interesting because it contains evidence of additional impactor material, including Carbonaceous components, adding complexity to its formation history. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003eFor collectors, Kapoeta offers a rare combination of witnessed fall status, HED classification, and strong historical significance. Its connection to Vesta, limited recovered mass, and distinctive brecciated structure make it especially desirable for collections focused on Achondrites, witnessed falls, or classic meteorites. Each specimen represents a documented fall and a fragment of ancient Vestan surface material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56318965940550,"sku":"KAP-02\/07","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/files\/Kapoeta02-4.jpg?v=1775474547","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/products\/kapoeta-howardite-0-023-g-copy","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
