  The Sari\c{c}i\c{c}ek howardite meteorite shower consisting of 343 documented
stones occurred on 2 September 2015 in Turkey and is the first documented
howardite fall. Cosmogenic isotopes show that Sari\c{c}i\c{c}ek experienced a
complex cosmic ray exposure history, exposed during ~12-14 Ma in a regolith
near the surface of a parent asteroid, and that an ca.1 m sized meteoroid was
launched by an impact 22 +/- 2 Ma ago to Earth (as did one third of all HED
meteorites). SIMS dating of zircon and baddeleyite yielded 4550.4 +/- 2.5 Ma
and 4553 +/- 8.8 Ma crystallization ages for the basaltic magma clasts. The
apatite U-Pb age of 4525 +/- 17 Ma, K-Ar age of ~3.9 Ga, and the U,Th-He ages
of 1.8 +/- 0.7 and 2.6 +/- 0.3 Ga are interpreted to represent thermal
metamorphic and impact-related resetting ages, respectively. Petrographic,
geochemical and O-, Cr- and Ti- isotopic studies confirm that Sari\c{c}i\c{c}ek
belongs to the normal clan of HED meteorites. Petrographic observations and
analysis of organic material indicate a small portion of carbonaceous chondrite
material in the Sari\c{c}i\c{c}ek regolith and organic contamination of the
meteorite after a few days on soil. Video observations of the fall show an
atmospheric entry at 17.3 +/- 0.8 kms-1 from NW, fragmentations at 37, 33, 31
and 27 km altitude, and provide a pre-atmospheric orbit that is the first
dynamical link between the normal HED meteorite clan and the inner Main Belt.
Spectral data indicate the similarity of Sari\c{c}i\c{c}ek with the Vesta
asteroid family spectra, a group of asteroids stretching to delivery
resonances, which includes (4) Vesta. Dynamical modeling of meteoroid delivery
to Earth shows that the disruption of a ca.1 km sized Vesta family asteroid or
a ~10 km sized impact crater on Vesta is required to provide sufficient
meteoroids <4 m in size to account for the influx of meteorites from this HED
clan.
