AGOUDAL iron meteorite from Agoudal, Morocco; complete pieces, 10 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent Agoudal meteorites classified as a IIAB iron. It is the latest metallic meteorite discovered in Morocco, in the year 2011.
Collected by us on the expedition we undertook in May 2019.
The two lakes found in the area are actually meteorite craters. Supposedly the rock that pierced the atmosphere split into two large fragments before exploding and forming a rain of thousands of small meteorites scattered around the current site of the town of Agoudal.
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 magma blob during its formation, iron and nickel settle at the center of the asteroid, as they are the heaviest elements. After cooling, the metallic core of the asteroid is formed. Through catastrophic collisions, the asteroid and its core break apart and those fragments stay in space until some piece falls to our planet. It is estimated that they represent 5.7% of falls.
The pieces received are similar to the photos; 25 grams of meteorite are sent.
At Expometeoritos, we handle outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of meteorites.
We are members of:
- IMCA International Association of Meteorite Collectors #8187
- Meteoritical Society
- American Meteor Society
All our pieces are certified and, moreover, we provide the chemical composition analysis if the piece’s value exceeds €300, conducted at our facilities by X-ray Spectroscopy.
