Meteorite Features

--Ordinary Chondrite--

Ordinary chondrites make up about 85% of all known falls. They are stony meteorites composed primarily of silicate minerals like olivine and pyroxene, with small amounts of nickel-iron metal and chondrules—tiny, spherical grains that formed in the early solar system. Their composition provides valuable insights into the building blocks of planets and the history of our solar system.

 

--Chondrules--

Small, spherical particles found in some meteorites, particularly in chondrites. These are believed to be some of the oldest solid materials in our solar system.

 

--Stone Meteorite--

The most common type of meteorite, these rocky visitors from space are similar to Earth rocks but with a twist. They often contain tiny, round particles called chondrules, which formed in the early solar system. Stone meteorites give us a peek into the building blocks of planets!

 

--Provenance--

This stone was purchased directly from a northwest African finder in 2024.
