AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent L-type meteorite due to its low iron content
Regmaglyphs can be observed. Regmaglyphs are formed by the air as it shapes the hot surface of the meteorite
It has impact lines, produced by the impact with Earth during its fall, and a fusion crust
You can also observe the fusion crust originated by the high temperatures reached during entry into the atmosphere, temperatures that approach 7000°C, and this is the reason why spacecraft are equipped with a protective thermal shield
At Expometeoritos, we handle outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification and exhibitions of meteorites.
We are members of:
- IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) #8187
- Meteoritical Society
- American Meteor Society
All our pieces are certified and, in addition, we provide the chemical composition analysis if the piece’s value exceeds €300, performed at our facilities by X-ray spectroscopy.
