## Description

Iron meteorites come from large asteroids with molten cores that once orbited the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Extremely slow cooling of those cores, over millions of years, allowed nickel-iron alloys to crystallize into fantastic geometric structures knows as Widmanstätten Patterns. Much like snowflakes, the pattern of every iron meteorite is unique. Catastrophic collisions within the Asteroid Belt shattered some asteroids, sending pieces in all directions. Some of them eventually encountered Earth's gravitational pull, resulting in a fiery journey through our atmosphere at speeds up to 100,000 miles per hour. Super-heated to thousands of degrees Fahrenheit, the surfaces of these fragments melted to form beautiful sculptural indentations called regmaglypts or thumbprints — features that are unique to meteorites. The Sikhote-Alin meteorite fall, during the winter of 1947, was the largest recorded meteorite impact on earth in modern times. The daytime fireball and subsequent crater-forming event were witnessed by rural farmers in a remote part of eastern Siberia, near the Sikhote-Alin mountains — the range which gives this highly collectible meteorite its name. The Russian Academy of Sciences investigated the fall zone during a series of expeditions in the late 1940s, and approximately 100 separate meteorite craters were identified in a densely wooded area. These iron meteorite specimens acquired their unique surface characteristics during flight through our own atmosphere. They are known as a shrapnel specimens — fragments which exploded during flight, due to atmospheric pressure or collision with another meteorite. Your collectible Meteorite's Journey postcard contains information on the different stages that occur as an asteroid plummets to earth and becomes a meteorite, with marvelous graphics set on a rich blue background. Weight: Shrapnel specimens weigh +/- one gram Approx dim: vial: 80 mm x 12 mm, card: 5" x 7". One centimeter scale cube for size reference.
