NWA 869 meteorite, L3-6 lamina type chondrite, from Tindouf, Algeria, weighing 20 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The NWA 869 chondrite is the largest known rocky meteorite fall, and therefore one of the most famous falls
Magnificent specimen in which we can observe primary fusion crust
Chondrites are among the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4.550 billion years. They are undifferentiated meteorites, which is why they contain iron, in this case in small quantities since this is an L-type
Most of them originate from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter
A characteristic feature of chondrites is the presence of chondrules, small millimeter-sized spheres, largely composed of silicates.
The standard model for their initial formation is that they formed during the condensation of the solar nebula, from cosmic dust.
Chondrites are considered as the first building blocks from which planets form.
At Expometeoritos, we are responsible for outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of meteorites.
