    Description

    Complete Sikhote-Alin Meteorite
    Iron, Coarse Octahedrite - IIAB
    Maritime Territory, Siberia, Russia (46°09'36"N, 134° 39'12"E)
    Witnessed Fall: 12 February 1947 10:30 am local time
    2.97 x 2.18 x 1.37 inches (7.54 x 5.53 x 3.48 cm) (264 grams)

    Any specimen of the famous Sikhote-Alin iron octahedrite Meteorite that fell over the Siberia region of Russia in 1947 is something special. This fine example weighing 264 grams is a piece of "shrapnel" from the iconic Meteorite that is composed of sharp-edged pieces of torn metal which has literally captured the violent fragmentation that occurred when the massive bolide exploded and made the strewn field.

    [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
