| A 8.8kg meteorite was plowed up
from a depth of 20-30 cm. Tractor drivers had broken the meteorite and small
pieces were taken by inhabitants. The larger part of the meteorite was brought

| This is one of the great
meteorites Falls of our time. Several ton of this iron meteorite fell over the
Sikhote-Alin mountains (Russia) on February 12, 1947 Classified as a IIAB iron meteorite, there are two types - large, fragmented forms showing the violent shearing, tearing, and breakup in the atmosphere and the regmaglypted specimens that display melting. This is a spectacular iron meteorite for display. Offered are both types. |

| Estherville iron nodule, 10.05 grams, 20mm x 17mm x 11mm, fusion crusted, $585.00 | |||||||||||||||
| The Estherville meteorite shower of May 10, 1879 rained over 350kg of a rare classification of meteorite called a mesosiderite over Emmet County Iowa. Mesosiderites are an odd type of differentiated meteorite, meaning that somehow the Fe/Ni mix from the asteroidal core melted and combined with molten silicates (basalt) near the surface. Not only did the shower produce many larger specimens, it produced many smaller "iron nodules" consisting of an admixture of both the Ni/Fe and basalt. | |||||||||||||||
| Harvey Nininger published on these remarkable nodules singling out the oriented ones (the Published Papers of Harvey Harlow Nininger, June 1971) | |||||||||||||||
| He examined over 700 specimens, studiying the aerodynamic abalation from orientation. | |||||||||||||||
| Offered are three samples of these nodules, all oriented, all with exposed Ni/Fe and the stony basaltic matrix, all with fragmented sections of both primary and secondary fusion crust. The serious study of meteoritics was beginning at this time and Nininger was at the forefront. Aside from their unique nature, these are historic meteorite samples from when the "eye" of science began to take notice. | |||||||||||||||
