AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fantastic complete L5-type Meteorite due to its low iron content
Previously known as Ghadamis, this meteorite is thought to have fallen in April 2018 and it is only now that it has finally been officially classified.
In this superb meteorite, you can observe numerous meteorite features, such as Regmaglifhs, fusion crust, and flight lines.
Regmaglifos are produced by the air as it shapes the hot surface of the meteorite.
You can also observe the Fusion Crust formed by the high temperatures reached during entry into the atmosphere, temperatures that approach 7000°C, and is the reason why spacecraft are fitted with a protective heat shield.
Flight lines are produced by the material aligning in the direction of fall.
The contraction crust originates when the meteorite cools rapidly, and the fusion crust cracks, revealing this rare pattern to behold.
At Expometeoritos, we handle dissemination, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of Meteorites.
We are members of:
.- IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) #8187
- Meteoritical Society
- American Meteor Society
All of our pieces are certified and, furthermore, we provide the chemical composition analysis if the piece value exceeds €300, performed at our facilities by X-ray Spectroscopy.
