	SANTA CATHARINA Iron. Ataxite, ungrouped (ATAX UNGR) Santa Catarina, Brazil Found 1875
Many large masses of this ungrouped, Ni-rich ataxite were found by Gonclaves da Rosa on the island of Sao Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The combined weight of the recovered masses was estimated to be at least 7,000 kg, but was probably much higher since a large portion was smelted to extract its unusually high content of nickel (~25-50%). Although much of this iron has been significantly oxidized, some metallic portions are preserved. The presence in Santa Catharina of the phosphide barringerite, a mineral usually unstable in association with metal, attests to a high cooling rate.
Large fragment (oxide) with collection number 505 grams "special sale" $725


	WITNESSED FALL SARATOV Stone. Chondrite (L4) Saratovskaya, Russia Fell September 6, 1918

At 3:00 in the afternoon, a bright fireball was seen and heard as several stones, totaling 328 kg, fell in Donguz and Belaya Gora, Russia. Saratov is not a typical L4 ordinary chondrite. It has a chondrule-rich composition with a friable matrix texture. More importantly, it contains a separate petrographic component - one consisting of highly porous, low-density, fine-grained aggregates, similar to interplanetary dust particles. This extremely fragile material, which was incorporated on the L chondrite parent asteroid, is usually vaporized as it enters the atmosphere; with Saratov, it can now be readily studied.

	WITNESSED FALL SIKHOTE-ALIN Iron. (IIAB) Coarsest Octahedrite Maritime Territory, Russia Fell February 12, 1947 Approx. recovered weight: 27 Tons

Around 10:38 A.M. in the Sikhote-Alin mountains of eastern Siberia, people witnessed the largest single meteorite fall ever recorded. A huge roar was heared sending thousands of meteorite fragments onto the frozen ground. A shower of fireballs fell in thick forest in the Sikhote-Alin mountains,25 miles from Novopoltavka, Maritime Province, producing 106 impact holes, the largest 28 metres across, over an area 100 x 660 metres, and many fragments, up to 300 kg in weight, totalling over 27000kg, were found scattered inside and outside the holes. The shockwave from the explosion was felt hundreds of miles away. A dark funnel-shaped smoke was visable in the sky. The largest single mass was recovered weight 1745kg and has an oriented shield-like shape. Oriented regmaglyptsed individual and Shrapnel type fragments were found.

	Click image to enlarge TAZA (AKA NWA 859) Iron. Plessitic octahedrite (UNGR) Northwest Africa Found 2000
Many individual masses from this shower-producing meteorite have been recovered in Taza, Morocco, having a total weight of 75.3 kg. This meteorite has been assigned number 859 in the NWA series. Many of the masses have well-oriented shapes. Taza is chemically anomalous and unrelated to any established iron chemical group. However, Taza has an elemental composition very similar to the ungrouped, plessitic iron, Butler, and the two may be grouped together. They have an extremely high Ge concentration of ~2000 ppm (Taza varies from 1500-5000 ppm), four times higher than any other iron meteorite. A high Ni content of ~16% promotes kamacite to form discontinuous, pointed spindles, rimmed by taenite, having widths of ~0.15 mm. Tetrataenite (~50% Ni) forms a narrow border on some kamacite spindles. In the dense, fine-grained plessite matrix, this spindle pattern is repeated on a scale ten times finer to form a micro-Widmanstätten structure. This uncommon plessitic microstructure is transitional between the octahedrites and the ataxites.

	WITNESSED FALL THUATHE Stone. Chondrite. (H4) Lesotho, Africa. Fell July 21, 2002. Approx. recovered weight: 35 kg

On a typical Sunday in July, at 3:49 pm, hundreds of witnesses over a 100 km radius heard a prolonged, loud noise, which heralded the fall of a meteorite over the small mountainous country of Lesotho. Several stones narrowly missed hitting some villagers as they went about their daily activities. Over 600 fragments of this H4/5 chondrite, totaling about 30 kg, have been recovered on the Thuathe Plateau, its cliffs, and in the surrounding valley. The strewn field, which measures 7.4 km by 1.9 km and includes nine villages, was plotted by Professor Ambrose (National University of Lesotho). The Professor also compiled a comprehensive catalogue, recording specific details on about 85% of all of the fragments recovered.

	Click image to enlarge TUCSON (TUCSON RING) Iron. Ataxite, Ni-rich Pima Country, Arizona Found 1850 Specimen is from H.H. Nininger American Meteorite Lab #122a
The Tucson meteorite comprises two large masses — the 1,400 pound, ring-shaped, Irwin-Ainsa mass, alternately called the Ring, and the 633 pound, slab-shaped, Carleton mass. By volume, it is composed of 92% iron and 8% silicate inclusions, primarily forsteritic olivine, enstatite, and Al-rich diopside. Because Tucson cooled rapidly during crystallization, no Widmanstätten structure is revealed upon etching, and is therefore classified as an ataxite. The Tucson Ring can be viewed today at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, in the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals.

	WITNESSED FALL Click image to enlarge UDEI STATION Iron. Medium octahedrite (IA) with silicate inclusions Benue River, Nigeria Fell 1927
During daylight hours, a meteorite was seen and heard to fall near the railway station in Udei, Nigeria. A 103 kg silicated-iron was recovered from a shallow hole eight years later. Some reports tell of the existence of a second mass. Udei Station is a medium octahedrite with a high content of chondritic silicates and troilite, characteristic of the IAB group. Theories place an origin for this group within an impact melt pool, or in association with a crystallizing metallic core.

	VACA MUERTA Click image to enlarge Mesosiderite (MES) Atacama Desert, Chile Found 1861 Approx. recovered weight: 99 kg
Over 4 tons of this brecciated, metal-silicate meteorite have been recovered in Atacama, Chile. Still, the pre-atmospheric mass is estimated to have been at least 10 tons. Vaca Muerta defines a strewn field with dimensions of 12 km x 2 km. Basaltic inclusions similar to cumulate eucrite material are present throughout this meteorite, but multiple lines of evidence suggest that mesosiderites and eucrites did not originate on a common parent body. Based on silicate matrix textures, Vaca Muerta has been placed into metamorphic subgroup 1A.

	VERMILLION Pallasite, pyroxene-bearing or Iron, IAB complex-related, with silicates Found May, 1991, recognized 1995 Marshall County, Kansas,in the vicinity of the Black Vermillion River, USA
A 34.36 kg mass was found by M. and G. Farrell while planting in a grain field in Marshall County, Kansas, in the vicinity of the Black Vermillion River. This was purchased by a dealer with the belief that it was a Brenham pallasite mass, but upon cutting, it was discovered to be unique from Brenham. Vermillion consists of 86 vol% FeNi-metal and 14 vol% silicates, with pyroxene accounting for ~0.7 vol% of this silicate fraction. However, the silicate grains are much smaller in size than those of typical pallasites. Subsequent analyses determined that Vermillion shares a similar pyroxene composition, mineralogy, O-isotope composition, and REE pattern with the pyroxene-containing pallasite Yamato 8451, and therefore these two meteorites were classified by the Meteoritical Society Nomenclature Committee as members of a new grouplet named pyroxene pallasites (Boesenberg et al., 2000). However, in light of the current classification issues involving these meteorites, the NomCom is now recommending the more general classification of pallasite be used for these two meteorites, which does not indicate a particular chemical group assignment. On the other hand, utilizing elemental ratio data of Vermillion, Wasson and Kallemeyn (2002) found that it plots on a Ni-Au diagram just outside of the low-Au end of the IAB main group irons, and that it also plots along an extention of the low-Au, medium-Ni subgroup (sLM) into the lower Au composition field. Furthermore, the O-isotopic composition of Vermillion is within the range of IAB irons, and so Vermillion may be considered to be genetically related to members of the low-Au division of the IAB iron-meteorite complex. Since the discovery of Vermillion, two more pyroxene-bearing pallasites have been discovered—a 46 g pyroxene-rich (28 vol%) pallasite named Zinder was found in Niger in 1999, and a 53 g pyroxene-rich pallasite (~26 vol%) was found in Northwest Africa, named NWA 1911. Further studies may help to elucidate the relationship between these diverse stony-irons. Text written by Meteorite Studies.
The specimen is a rare and unsual pyroxene-bearing pallasite. This very unusal slice weight is 275.8 grams. The slice has been etched and has a great looking polished finish. The size of the slice is 6 mm x 80 mm x 128 mm. "Another museum quality specimen" Price SOLD
