Gay Gulch is an iron meteorite[1] found in 1901 by miners near Dawson City, Yukon Territory, using a slice box to mine alluvial gold.[2] They were exploiting Pliocene gravel, hence the meteorite may have fallen at that time.
Classification
It is a nickel-rich ataxite, IAB-sHH.
Fragments
The main mass is in the National Meteorite Collection, Ottawa.
