History: (Andre L R Moutinho, Marcelo Zurita). A bright fireball appeared on the western region of Pernambuco state, Brazil, on August 19, 2020, 13:18:17 UTC. Four cameras from a weather forecast company named "Clima Ao Vivo" recorded the bolide in the cities of Floresta, Salgueiro, Belém de São Francisco and São José do Belmonte. The GOES-16 satellite also captured the bolide flash. Using the video data, the BRAMON (Brazilian Meteor Observation Network) performed the bolide triangulation and orbit calculation. The meteoroid entered the Earth atmosphere at 15.36 km/s, in a 43.1° inclination (relative to ground) travelling 61.3 km in 4 " and extinguished at 20.9 km height, 7.5 km east of the city of Santa Filomena. The meteoroid orbit was calculated as follows: semi-major axis 2.0 AU, eccentricity 0.94, inclination 0.26°, pericenter longitude 143.5° and ascending node 146.7°. Stones were recovered within a 16.0 × 2.7 km elipse compared to the predicted strewn field of 40 × 4 km as calculated by Jim Goodall. Santa Filomena is located nearly at the middle of the strewn field. The majority of the stones, by weight, were recovered by local people. A 38.2 kg mass was found ~7 km from Santa Filomena on the Pernambuco-Piaui state border. A 2.81 kg oriented nosecone hammered a house in front of the main city church and plaza. Another 1.5 kg stone hit a Cohab house ~1 km NE of the plaza. Other stones were witnessed to fall by residents of the village of Caramari located few hundred meters North of the Cohab house. Stones were also found by researchers and meteorite hunters: Andre L. R. Moutinho (4 pcs, 57 g), "Meteoriticas" - UFRJ (3 pc, 83.2 g), Robert Ward (1 pc, 34 g), José C. Medeiros - Astro Agreste (3 pcs, 62 g), Cartier Ramalho and Evandro Peixoto - CASF (3 pcs, 243g) and Luiz F. Castro - GASF (2 pcs, 118 g). Physical characteristics: Recovered meteorites range in weight from

History: A large stone of 405 kg was found around 5 km SE of Akokan. It is probably part of a large strewnfield extending for kilometers. Tassédet 004 is widely traded under the name "Tchifaddine." Physical characteristics: Interior shows little to no signs of weathering. Exterior largely dark colored with protruding metal clasts, typically cm-sized. Petrography: Examination of multiple kg of material shows considerable variation in petrography and clast size. This description is based on two representative slices (10 × 8 cm and 18 × 18 cm) and two polished microprobe mounts. The polished slices are dominated by black rounded clasts, surrounded by lighter-colored quenched melt and igneous-textured microporphyritic melt domains. The black clasts show an even distribution of metal and sulfide, typically <500 μm across, and significant porosity as vesicles 10 to 200 μm, some with euhedral grains protruding into the voids. Rare melt pockets to 100 μm. In the two sections, the chondrules in the black clasts are largely integrated into the matrix. A few PO and BO chondrules were recognized. The silicates contain an abundance of small, 2 mm in the melt show eutectic textures. Grains smaller than 2 mm consist of Fe-Ni spheres with coatings of troilite. Chromite is a common accessory as anhedral grains to 200 μm. Feldspar, as anhedral grains, have a wide size distribution from 50 μm. Geochemistry: (L. Garvie, ASU) Black clast: Olivine Fa19.3±1.2, range Fa18.5-22.1, FeO/MnO=39.9±2.9, CaO to 2.2 wt%, Cr2O3=0.1±0.03, range 0.04 to 0.14 wt%, n=9. Low Ca pyroxene, Fs16.7±0.9Wo1.8±0.5, FeO/MnO=23.4±2.5, n=10. Two high-Ca pyroxene grains found, Fs6.8Wo44.4 and Fs6.1Wo45.4. Feldspar Or2.0±0.4Ab76.2±0.9, n=5. Classification: H5-melt breccia. Low weathering, W1, and high shock. Mineralogy and petrography are similar to the Gao-Guenie H5 melt breccia (Schmieder et al., 2016). Tassedet 004 is widely traded under the name Tchifaddine. Specimens: 1237 g at ASU.
