=== Parameters ===
'''Bold''' fields are mandatory.

! Field !! Description
|-
| '''Name''' || Official name of the meteorite without any abbreviation; for the avoidance of doubt see [https://mrdata.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php]. Examples: ''Willamette'' or not ''Willamette Meteorite'', or ''Sayh al Uhaymir 001'' not ''SAU 001''. The article is automatically placed into <nowiki>[[Category:Meteorites by name|<name>]]</nowiki>.
|-
| Alternative names || Comma separated list of alternative names.
|-
| Image || Image name without ''File:'' or other wikitext e.g. ''Willamette Meteorite AMNH.jpg''. If there is no image the article is automatically placed into [[:Category:Wikipedia infobox meteorite articles without images]].
|-
| Image_caption || Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions]].
|-
| Image_alt_text || Description of the image for visually impaired readers. See [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]].
|-
| '''Type''' || Choose from the first column of ''Table 1'' below so that the template can automatically place the article into the appropriate category e.g. <nowiki>[[Category:<Type> meteorites]]</nowiki>
|-
| Class || Choose from the middle column of ''Table 1'' below.
|-
| Clan || A clan name from a referenced source.
|-
| Group || Likely to be in the last column of ''Table 1'' below.

| Structural_classification || Only for irons and, if applicable, stony-irons. Choose from:

|-
|Parent_body || Best referenced guess or ''Unknown''.
|-
| Composition || Chemical (irons) or mineral (stony) composition (e.g. 93% Fe, 5.9% Ni, 0.42% Co, 0.46% P)
|-
| Shock || For example, ''S4'', see [[Meteorite shock stage]].
|-
| Weathering || For example, ''W1'', see [[meteorite weathering]].
|-
| Country || For example, ''United States'' or ''Sweden''.
|-
| Region || For example, ''Oregon'' or ''Uppsala''.
|-
| Lat_Long || Coordinates using this format [[Template:Coord|{{coord|46|09|N|134|39|E|display=inline,title}}]]; if omitted, the article is placed in [[:Category:Wikipedia infobox meteorite articles without coordinates]].
|-
| Observed_fall || ''Yes'' or ''No''; if "Yes", automatically places the article into [[:Category:Meteorite falls]].
|-
| Fall_date || Date of the observed fall in YYYY-MM-DD format to the level of detail known (e.g. ''1947-02-12'') or estimated date (e.g. ''20,000 years ago'').
|-
| Found_date || Date of find in YYYY-MM-DD format to the level of detail known.
|-
| TKW || The [[total known weight]] in both metric and imperial units using {{tl|convert}} e.g. <nowiki>{{convert|300|kg}}</nowiki>
|-
| Strewn field || ''Yes'' or ''No''. Yes means that the strewn field is documented (in the literature). Falls often have one but not all do. Finds often don't. If set to "Yes" the article is automatically placed into [[:Category:Strewn field (meteorite)]]
|-
| Image2 || a second image showing additional details (e.g. [[chondrule]]s or [[Widmanstätten pattern]], see for example [[Gibeon (meteorite)]])
|-
| Image2_caption || short description of the second image (e.g. ''Widmanstätten pattern'')
|-
|Image2_alt_text || Description of the image for visually impaired readers. See [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]].
