Aguas Zarcas meteorite. CM2. Newest fall. Costa Rica, 24 April - 2.3 g

[ translate ]

The Aguas Zarcas Meteorite fell on 24 April 2019 in Costa Rica. It was observed by the neighbors and recorded by several cameras. It fell in a rainforest area so the recovery of the meteorites has been difficult. https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=T_W9Dz. Jb. Hx0 It is a carbonaceous chondrite type CM2, similar to the Murchison meteorite. In Murchison, through extensive research during years, scientists have found a water content of 12%, alcohols, hydrocarbons and dozens of amino-acids. CM2 meteorites seem to have established the basis for the origin of life on Earth. Aguas Zarcas will certainly be extensively studied too and in the future we will be able to see what wonders this meteorite is still hiding. In auction complete specimen. It is mainly covered in fusion crust and has some minerals that have emanated from interior the piece. Weight: 2,287 grams. Certificate of authenticity included. IMCA 5591. Packages are usually sent the morning after the auction. Shipping is combined in all my listings - if you win multiple items, only one shipping cost is paid. Do not miss this opportunity!
