This collection contains 3 fragments of meteorites from around the world!

Shifting sands unearthed many meteorites that were buried on impact. Meteorite falls occured between 10,000 and 50,000 years ago. These stone chondrite meteorites have limited rust due to the dry desesrt conditions

Pieces range in size from grains of sand to 35 tons. This fragment consists of 92.2% iron, 6.68% nickel, 1.12% cobalt and a small percentage of phosphorus, germanium and gallium.

3. Iron Nickel Meteorite Fragment
(coarse octahedrite from the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in Primorye, Siberia, Russia.) This meteorite fell to earth mid-morning on Feb 12, 1947 in eastern SIberia. Observers saw a fireball brighter than the sun with a ten-mile smoke trail and heard a deafening roar. the meteor broke up several miles above the earth, creating a rain of shrapnel. Fortunately the rain fell in an uninhabited area. It is composed of 93% iron, 5.9% nickel, .42% cobalt and 68% other (phosphorus, sulfur, germanium and iridium)
