TANEZROUFT 091 Mesosiderite NEW CLASSIFICATION - 46.2 g

Beautiful piece of iron-stony meteorite, mesosiderite type, with a nice size and shape. 2020 new classification. On the surface we can observe different olivines, metals and crust. Olivines are translucent, allowing light to pass through. Mesosiderites are iron-stony meteorites formed by the impact, usually of a body of metallic nature, against a rocky body, so that, after the impact, the materials mix. Some studies suggest that the impact occurred with asteroid Vesta, from which meteorites called ‘HED’ (Howardite, Eucrite, Diogenite) come.
