La Portada
Spectacular 953 g arc-shaped meteorite
Siderite-type meteorite discovered in the Sahara in March 2020. It is the very particular and spectacular shape of this piece that aroused the curiosity of a nomad who then took it with him. It was then sent and analyzed, which confirmed that it is indeed a rare siderite-type meteorite composed of 8% nickel and 0.9% cobalt, the rest being iron. Its arch shape evokes a geological curiosity of Chile called "La Portada" hence the nickname of this 953g meteorite. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
