AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unclassified chondrite, found in the Sahara of Northwest Africa. Chondrites are the oldest rocks in our solar system: they contain chondrules, small melted beads that formed about 4.56 billion years ago in the protoplanetary cloud from which Earth also formed. Thus this fragment is older than our own planet.
The meteorite shows a naturally weathered surface with local remnants of the melted crust formed during the fiery passage through the atmosphere. Unclassified means that the specimen has not been lab-tested and registered; it is almost certainly a common chondrite (type H, L or LL), the most frequent class of stony meteorites from the Sahara.
Specifications:
- Type: Stony-iron meteorite
