On March 31,1965, a very bright exploding fireball was observed by many observers over BC. A few days later, 2 beaver fur trappers working north of Revelstoke found several tiny pieces of meteorite in the snow on a small frozen lake. These were determined to be a carbonaceous chondrite, a rare type. Revelstoke is close to being Canda's smallest meteorite as only 1 gram of material exists !

We passed Revelstoke BC early in our first trip, so it was great to finally see the tiny pieces of this rare meteorite.
