Mesosiderites are metal-rock meteorites formed by impact, normally of a body of metallic nature against a rocky body, so that after the impact, the materials are mixed.
Some studies suggest that the impact occurred with the asteroid Vesta, from which the meteorites known as "HED" (Howardites, Eucrites, Diogenites) originate
