Nantan Iron Meteorite, China, VERY RARE,, DO NOT BOOK !!!!! - 432 g

A fall observed in 1516, although the pieces were recovered from 1958 on, when they were melted for their use in China's growing industrialization Sent with a display box The meteorite exploded during its pass through the atmosphere and the pieces were scattered across a scattering ellipse of 28 km long and 8 km wide A metal meteorite is composed, mainly, of iron and nickel. Actually, it's a piece an asteroid´s core. In the process of differentiation, when the asteroid is a ball of magma, during its formation, iron and nickel are deposited in the centre of the asteroid, as they are the heaviest elements. After cooling, the asteroid´s metal core is formed. Through catastrophic collisions, the asteroid and its core break and those fragments remain in space, until a piece fall to our planet. They are estimated to account for 5. 7 % of falls. At Expometeoritos, we take care of the dissemination, talks, workshops, analysis, classification and exhibitions of Meteorites. We are members of: .
