Multiple complete individuals ranging in size from 1 - 800g were found in the Western Sahara. It is classified as a lunar (feldspathic melt breccia A-S3, low weathering) meteorite. These Lunites (lunar meteorites) are included under the Achondrite classification which are a very rare type of Chondrite meteorite. These Lunar meteorite is made of a complex breccia composed of rounded to irregular-shaped, mm-sized lithic and anhedral mineral clasts surrounded by a melt matrix. Lithic clasts include: anorthosite, norite, troctolite, brecciated and shock melted clasts. Mineral clasts are dominantly anorthite with minor zoned olivine. Matrix areas within the thin section show some regions with flow-textured glass and fine vesicles. Additional minerals are: <1vol% FeNi grains, chromite, ilmenite, sulfide, secondary barite and calcite. Classification: lunar (feldspathic melt breccia A-S3, low weathering). Textures and mineral compositions (Fe/Mn ratios for Olivine and pyroxene and An content of plagioclase) indicate sample is a melt breccia of lunar origin.
If you've come across a rock that looks positively out-of-this-world, there's a possibility it may be a meteorite. Although meteorites are relatively rare on Earth, they're not impossible to find in the wild. However, you'll want to make...
Meteors are tiny meteoroids that burn up as they travel through the earth's atmosphere producing tiny streaks of light. Meteorites are meteoroids that reach the surface of earth without being fully burnt. The meteoroid material is left by comets as they pass close to the Sun. More than 3,000 meteorites land on Earth every year. Most fall in the sea, but a handful are seen to fall on the land. The fragmentation of the meteorite causes a visual effect called a shooting star. Willamette Meteorite Meteorites from mars Atleast eight meteorites have fallen on theEarth from the Mars. The Nakhla meteorite fell in Egypt in 1911. Those meteorites tell us that the Mars had once running water. There are atleast three main types of meteorites: stony, iron, or stony-iron. The stony meteorites contain silicate minerals.They are subdivided into Chondrites and Achondrites meteorites Chondrite meteorite Achondrite Meteorite The Iron meteorites contain a high percentage of iron and nickel. They are created in the rupture of asteroids. Iron meteorite Stony-iron meteorite Gao Meteorite The Hoba meteorite, the largest in the world was found in Nambia in 1920. It measures 2.73x 2.43 and is 82 percent iron and 16 percent nickel. It weighs more than 60 tonnes. Hoba Meteorite The Tent, found in Greenland in 1894, originally known by its Eskimos name, as Ahnighito. This meteorite weighs about 57.3 tonnes. One can view this meteorite, it the New York Museum of Natural History. Ahnighito Large meteorites can form a crater when they strike the Earth. Vredefort, South Africa Chicxulub, Yucatan, Mexico The collisionof the meteorite compresses and excavates the ground, leaving a crater. The Popigai crater in Siberia, Russia is the fourth largest impact crater on the earth. Popigai, Russia Today about 150 impact craters can be identified including the Wolfe Crater of Australia.

Lunar Meteorite, 450 Gram Lunar anorthosite, probably quartz, from a large strewn field recently discovered in New Hampshire, soon to be Meteorite National Park. This piece is very translucent and is very smooth, except on part of the thin edge. The last photo is a microscopic view of the glass that forms on the surface of meteorites, called fusion crust. Chemical analysis for 3 Lunar basalts and a Lunar granite on youtube slideshow, as well as 19 thin sections of fusion crust on 6 small anorthosite and one large basalt. Includes description card, dated and signed by me, the person that discovered this strewn field. Please read; ABOUT THIS STORE for more info. about my discovery. 11 really cool slideshows on youtube, search: newmoonmeteorites Insured, carefully packed shipping.
Hornfels sample approximately 1" (3cm) in size Formed at the baked contact between an intruding igneous body and the surrounding rock Perfect size for use in classroom identification labs and exercises, correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements Great for students studying the effects of thermal alteration of metamorphic rocks Specimen comes in clear labeled and barcoded bag for ideal storage Hornfels forms in the narrow band between an igneous intrusion and the surrounding rock. As an intrusion propagates through the crust, the magma scorches and heats the crustal rock around it. This heat chemically alters the crust, forming a baked contact containing hornfels. This sample is good for metamorphic rock classification and identification, and is a great example of heat alteration.

Size:3.0*2.5*1.0cm Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite Specimen M Iron Meteorite Natural Meteorite Material Specimen Westenden pattern: There are three types of meteorites, iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites. Among them, the main components of iron meteorites are iron-nickel alloy components, which exist in elemental form. The identification of most iron meteorites only needs to rely on the dimension pattern. The so-called dimensional pattern, the full name of the translation is the Westenden pattern, is the arrangement of the iron and nickel element crystals in the meteorite, criss-crossing, the dimensional pattern is theoretically formed by the crystallization of one degree of cooling every million years in the microgravity environment of space. The iron-nickel structure can only be revealed under the action of nitric acid or other pickling solutions. The top scientific laboratories of mankind have tried countless times to simulate the cooling environment to imitate the dimension pattern, but it was all in vain. So far it has been impossible to imitate! The iron-nickel crys
