[2] The Zakłodzie meteorite was found beside a dirt road by Stanisław Jachymek who was searching for fossils and rocks.

The site lies south of the village Zakłodzie (Lublin Voivodeship), after which the meteorite is named.

[3][4] A fireball, which may well have been the Zakłodzie meteorite, was seen in the area of the find on 21 April 1897; its weathering is consistent with such an age.

The main arguments for this hypothesis are the relics of chondrules, the euhedral enstatites surrounded by meteoric iron and the occurrence of keilite.

[2] Keilite is possibly a product of reactions that take place when enstatite achondrites are melted and quenched (a quick decrease in temperature).
