Sikhote-Alin iron
meteorite
The largest known iron meteorite fall in modern
history occurred on February 12, 1947. A 70 ton iron mass burst apart in the
atmosphere over the Sikhote-Alin region of Siberia, showering the area with
thousands of iron fragments.
There are two types of Sikhote-Alin meteorites
– shrapnel and regmaglypted. The shrapnel specimens attest to the violence
incurred during atmospheric passage as the iron bolide burst apart along
crystal boundaries. The regmaglypted specimens display a rounded, smooth, and
often thumb printed surface (regmaglypts) from the atmospheric friction and
ablated melting.
Classified as a IIAB coarsest octahedrite,
specimens of Sikhote-Alin are highly sought after for collections, research,
and display. |

Canyon Diablo
Iron meteorite
Crashing into what is
now Arizona somewhere around 50,000 years ago was the Canyon Diablo iron
meteorite.
Fragments of the
meteorite have been actively collected since the mid-1800s and there is
evidence that fragments were collected and used by pre-historic Native
Americans.
There are more than a
dozen identifiable minerals within the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite.
Significant for use in geologic dating using Pb-Pb isochrons, is the iron
sulfide mineral troilite (FeS).
The troilite in Canyon
Diablo contains the lowest lead ratios between several isotopes of lead (Pb
204, 206, and 207) ever measured and has become the reference standard for lead
dating methods. Canyon Diablo is classified as a IAB iron. |
