The Saricicek howardite meteorite shower consisting of 343 documented
stones occurred on September 2, 2015 in Turkey and is the first
documented howardite fall. Cosmogenic isotopes show that Saricicek
experienced a complex cosmic-ray exposure history, exposed during
12-14Ma in a regolith near the surface of a parent asteroid, and that an
1m sized meteoroid was launched by an impact 22 +/- 2Ma ago to Earth (as
did one-third of all HED meteorites). SIMS dating of zircon and
baddeleyite yielded 4550.4 +/- 2.5Ma and 4553 +/- 8.8Ma crystallization
ages for the basaltic magma clasts. The apatite U-Pb age of 4525 +/-
17Ma, K-Ar age of 3.9Ga, and the U,Th-He ages of 1.8 +/- 0.7 and 2.6 +/-
0.3Ga are interpreted to represent thermal metamorphic and
impact-related resetting ages, respectively. Petrographic; geochemical;
and O-, Cr-, and Ti-isotopic studies confirm that Saricicek belongs to
the normal clan of HED meteorites. Petrographic observations and
analysis of organic material indicate a small portion of carbonaceous
chondrite material in the Saricicek regolith and organic contamination
of the meteorite after a few days on soil. Video observations of the
fall show an atmospheric entry at 17.3 +/- 0.8kms(-1) from NW;
fragmentations at 37, 33, 31, and 27km altitude; and provide a
pre-atmospheric orbit that is the first dynamical link between the
normal HED meteorite clan and the inner Main Belt. Spectral data
indicate the similarity of Saricicek with the Vesta asteroid family
(V-class) spectra, a group of asteroids stretching to delivery
resonances, which includes (4) Vesta. Dynamical modeling of meteoroid
delivery to Earth shows that the complete disruption of a 1km sized
Vesta family asteroid or a 10km sized impact crater on Vesta is required
to provide sufficient meteoroids 4m in size to account for the influx of
meteorites from this HED clan. The 16.7km diameter Antionia impact
crater on Vesta was formed on terrain of the same age as given by the
He-4 retention age of Saricicek. Lunar scaling for crater production to
crater counts of its ejecta blanket show it was formed 22Ma ago.
