The Henbury iron was discovered in 1931 and is associated with fifteen impact craters in central Australia. Henbury irons display one of the most attractive desert patinas of any meteorite — a reddish-crimson colour slowly acquired over hundreds of years. The crater field is now a protected area and collecting is prohibited. Famously mapped by Gene Shoemaker (Apollo sample return scientist and co-discoverer of the famed comet Shoemaker-Levy 9) this is a favourite amongst fans of the hit TV show Meteorite Men, as the team filmed extensively in this region.
