Classification: CI1 Carbonaceous Chondrite.

Late in the evening of March 31, 1965 a brilliant fireball was seen over the glaciated mountains of British Columbia. After exploding at ~30 km, the fireball broke into at least two fireballs, and soon afterward violent detonations were heard over 100 km. After a mostly futile search two holes in the ice were observed and two tiny fragments lay in the snow (total 1 gram of material). Tiny Revelstoke has been classified as a CI1 (Ivuna-like) Carbonaceous Chondrite and is the smallest of the nine known CI1 group (5 witnessed falls & 4 other Antarctic finds.)

The CI Carbonaceous Chondrites have given us our best estimates for the composition of the moderately heavy and heavy elements in the sun and in the earth’s core. Indeed, carbonaceous chondrites are substantially defined by their nearly solar Mg/Si ratios. They are also defined by similar oxygen isotope ratios. Within these defining chemical and physical parameters, the CI chemical group is distinguished by the absence of chondrules and by a high degree of hydration.

Several studies of CI1 chondrites have included Revelstoke, but most of them are publicly available only in abstract form.
