About 1600 kg of iron meteorite fragments were found in and around the Kamil impact crater by an Italian-Egyptian geophysical team in February 2009 and February 2010. Two samples of the Gebel Kamil meteorite (one shrapnel and a piece of the only one individual that has been found) were measured at Monte dei Cappuccini Laboratory (INAF) in Torino, using a selective gamma spectrometer and 26Al cosmogenic activity was detected in both fragments.

Abstract

About 1600 kg of iron meteorite fragments were found in and around the Kamil impact crater by an Italian-Egyptian geophysical team in February 2009 and February 2010. Two samples of the Gebel Kamil meteorite (one shrapnel and a piece of the only one individual that has been found) were measured at Monte dei Cappuccini Laboratory (INAF) in Torino, using a selective gamma spectrometer and 26Al cosmogenic activity was detected in both fragments.
