AGOUDAL iron meteorite from Agoudal, Morocco, weighing 10 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Excellent Agoudal meteorites classified as an IIAB iron
It is the latest metallic meteorite that has been discovered in Morocco, in the year 2011
Collected by us on the expedition we did in May 2019
The 2 lakes found in the area are actually craters of the meteorite. Supposedly the rock that traversed the atmosphere split into 2 large fragments before they exploded and formed a rain of thousands of small meteorites, scattered by the current location of the city of Agoudal
A metallic meteorite is composed, mainly, of iron and nickel.
Actually, it is a piece of the core of an asteroid. In the differentiation process, when the asteroid is a magma ball, during its formation, iron and nickel settle in 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 and those fragments stay in space until some piece falls on 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

Seller's Story
We seek pieces of the cosmos to put the universe in your hands.

We are adventurers, curious and restless by nature, and thanks to this project we can bring the secrets of the cosmos to all of you in a different way.
