AGOUDAL MUSEUM size Iron meteorite - 4.65 kg

[ translate ]

Excellent Agoudal meteorite classified as an IIAB iron It is the last metallic meteorite that has been discovered in Morocco, in 2011 Collected by us on our May 2019 expedition The 2 lakes found in the area are actually meteorite craters. Supposedly the rock that pierced the atmosphere, was divided into 2 large fragments before they exploded and will form a shower of thousands of small meteorites, scattered around the current location of the city of Agoudal, which is the highest city in Morocco at 2300 meters above sea level. A metallic meteorite is composed mainly of iron and nickel. It is actually a piece of the nucleus of an asteroid. In the differentiation process, when the asteroid is a ball of magma, during its formation, iron and nickel are deposited in the center of the asteroid, since they are the heaviest elements. After cooling, the metallic core of the asteroid is formed. Through catastrophic collisions, the asteroid and its nucleus rupture and those fragments remain in space until a piece falls on our planet. It is estimated that they represent 5. 7% of falls At Expometeoritos, we take care of the disclosure, talks, workshops, analysis, classification and exhibitions of Meteorites. We are members of: .
- IMCA (International Association of Meteorite Collectors) # 8187 .
