This pallasite was initially named Habaswein, a neighbouring city where the fragments have been found.
Eventually, the meteorite was officially named Sericho, the area of Kenia where the impact took place.
Pallasites are very scarce meteorites in which olivines are mixed in a metal matrix.
They come from the mantle of great asteroids and they represent just 1.7% of the meteorites known.
Two brothers were looking for their camels near the village of Habaswein in Kenia when they found
several large stones with no relation to the surroundings. Upon checking their heavy weight and their
iron content, the brothers concluded that these should be meteorites. Analysis proved them right!
