The Clipperton meteorite was found by St. Petersburg geologists S.M. Tibunov, Yu.I. Tomanovskaya, and G.N. Starukhina during petrographical study of trawl samples from the Central Pacific. The samples were raised from a depth of 5200 m 2000 km southeast of Hawaii, near the Clipperton and Clarion faults. This was the first meteorite found on the ocean bottom.
