NWA 13187 Martian Meteorite Slice Martian (shergottite) Northwest Africa...

NWA 13187 Martian Meteorite Slice Martian (shergottite) Northwest Africa Found: December 2019 Shaped a little bit like the state of Nebraska in the abstract, this thin slice of NWA 13187 represents the shergottite variety and is, therefore, a Martian meteorite. This piece of the Red Planet is more grayish in hue with a speckled patterning consistent over both of its smooth sides. Weighing 24 grams, this slab is relatively sturdy and sizable, with a significant amount of surface area for its weight. A wonderful way to include a piece of Mars in a collection, the attractive slice will display well and certainly has a compelling backstory. Found in 2019, the total known weight (TKW) of this fall is a mere 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds). Measurements: 3.50 x 2.18 x 0.08 inches (8.90 x 5.53 x 0.20 cm), weighs 24.1 grams HID09710052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
