Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 73.5 grams. Its dimensions are 46x33x43 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

The following is an excerpt from Mark Bostick's review of this meteorite:  "Dhofar 020 is a ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable."

This piece displays extremely well showing a beautiful crust, superb shape and good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a nice end cut of the Northwest Africa 978 meteorite. This is another of the great and rare meteorites from the Sahara. It is classified as a Stone, Chondrite Rumurutiite, (R3.8). This meteorite was found in 2001 in many fragments and small individuals, very fresh but sandblasted, for a low TKW of 722 grams. The Shock stage is registered at 3 and the Weathering grade at 2.

It is one of the rarest meteorite types with only 9 Rumuruti 3.8 type meteorites known,  most being found in Antarctica. This unique group of chondrites has basically no FeNi-metal in comparison to other chondrite groups. The R chondrites also have the highest 17O value of any other solar system material. This piece weighs 5.02 grams an measures 31x18x8mm. Note the flat edge of this piece is crusted, it is not a cut surface.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish.  This high quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

The crystal face has been left raw on this piece to show the red and green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust. 

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a beautiful sample of the famous iron meteorite Campo del Cielo (Heaven’s Field in Spanish) that was found in Chaco Province, Argentina, in 1576 by Spanish explorers.  This is a solid iron individual meteorite classified as IAB Silicated.  This incredible specimen has many large regmaglypts and scoops (or thumb prints).

This meteorite is classified as an Iron polycrystalline coarse octahedrite (IAB).  It weighs 10 kg (22 Lbs) and measures 20.4x15.3x12.7 cm (8.0x6.0x5.0 inches).

This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable size.  It is a great example of this iron type meteorite.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.  Would make a beautiful addition to any collection.

This is a large Monturaqui Impactite specimen weighing 17.24 grams.  It measures 41x23x19 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.

Some of the recovered pieces of this impactite show tiny bits of the original iron meteorite. There is very little of the original meteorite left at this impact site, but sometimes when these Impactites are sliced you can find small fragments of metal in them. This specimen was collected by Michael Cottingham during an excursion to the Impactite Site.  

The Monturaqui Crater is located in a very remote part of North Chile's Atacama Desert. This crater measures about 370 meters in diameter. Less than 4 kilos of Iron Shale fragments and about 50kg of Impactites have been found so far. This crater was made over 100,000 years ago. The only evidence remaining of the original meteorite is seen in the shale and impactite.

Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite. The term encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.

This piece displays extremely well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass.  It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.  This Chilean find is very well shaped and preserved.  These impactites are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. 

This specimen originates from the Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection and is guaranteed to be authentic. The specimen will come with a Michael Cottingham and a Canagem specimen card.
