AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent L-type meteorite due to its low iron content.
Regmaglifos can be observed. Regmaglifos are produced 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.
Also observable is 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 fitted with a protective thermal shield.
