Large Iron Meteorite

Postby David Entwistle » Sun Sep 14, 2014 8:52 am

Hi,

Does anyone recognize the meteorite shown below?

The image is from the Vernadsky Institute photo catalogue, but doesn't appear to be identified there. I've adjusted the contrast slightly, but is otherwise unchanged from the original.

Do you know this meteorite?

I would hazard a guess at one of the Cape York meteorites, probably the Ahnighito mass?

As shown in the below link.

Only looking on my phone though so will have a better look later :-)

Cheers

Yes, just looked on the laptop and think that Ahnighito is the winner :-)
