Dronino Meteorite Slice Iron, Ataxite (Ungrouped) Ryazan District,...
Dronino Meteorite Slice Iron, Ataxite (Ungrouped) Ryazan District, Russia Found: July 2000 Unlike most Iron meteorites, the Dronino variety does not display a Widmanstätten pattern when etched. Rather, it reveals remarkable Iron sulfide inclusions with an amoeboid shape on a mirror finished background. This example weighs 154.7 grams, and the reflective surface gives the specimen a dramatic appearance on both sides. Overall Measurements: 5.30 x 3.35 x 0.10 inches (13.46 x 8.50 x 0.26 cm), weighs 154.7 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
