AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered is this rare fragment (with the so-called 'fusion crust', the exterior of the meteorite!) of the Acfer 329 meteorite, which was found in Algeria in December 2001. The fragment is professionally framed together with the certificate. On the back, all important information is again provided. The age of this type of meteorite is approximately 4.5 billion years and belongs to the oldest materials in our solar system.

It concerns a chondrite from the L-group that is petrologically type 4 or type 5. It is the most common category of stony meteorites, mainly composed of olivine and orthopyroxene. The L-group is characterized by a relatively low iron content, although it is still clearly visible in the cut surface of this fragment.

Meteorite dimensions: approximately 3.3 x 2.5 centimeters.
Dimensions list: 18 x 18 centimeters
