Found in Morocco
From L'mahbas,
near Zag. Sahara desert, Morocco. The specimen has been
cut to reveal the stunning internal structure. There
are tiny metallic flakes through out the specimen. One
of the most prominent characteristics of stony meteorites
is, "Fusion crust. This crust, usually black, forms
as a result of friction and ablation caused by the intense
cosmic velocity, which these meteorites experience during
passage through Earth's atmosphere. Stony meteorites
are comprised of three primary minerals, Olivines, Pyroxenes,
and Nickel-Iron minerals. Olivine and pyroxenes are
the most abundant minerals in stony meteorites.

When meteorites fall they distribute
over an area that can be 16-17 miles long. That must
be quite a show considering the fact that most of the
"falling stars" we see are only about size
of a grain of sand. |
