AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Canyon Diablo meteorite fell to Earth about 50,000 years ago and created one of the most spectacular and best-preserved craters on Earth, the Barringer Crater or Meteor Crater. It has a diameter of 1.2 km and a depth of 170 m.
The Canyon Diablo meteorites were known and used by prehistoric Native Americans to manufacture tools.
A metallic meteorite is composed mainly of iron and nickel. In reality, it is a piece of the asteroid's core. In the differentiation process, when the asteroid is a blob of magma during its formation, iron and nickel settle at the center of the asteroid, since they are the heaviest elements. After cooling, the asteroid's metallic core forms. Through catastrophic collisions, the asteroid and its core break apart and those fragments remain in space until a piece falls to our planet. It is estimated that they represent 5.7% of falls.
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 of our pieces are certified and, in addition, we provide the analysis of chemical composition if the piece's value exceeds €300, performed at our facilities by X-ray Spectroscopy.
