Dellenites Impact Melt Rock | 207.4 grams | HT Tagamite | Dellen Crater, Sweden
$209.40 CAD
Unit price perDellenites Impact Melt Rock | 207.4 grams | HT Tagamite | Dellen Crater, Sweden
$209.40 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 207.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden. It measures 92x55x33. Some locals call these rocks by the name of “dellenites”, although officially they are impact melt rocks. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. 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 impactite 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 impactite was formed approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide. The term tagamite was introduced in 1975 to describe impact rock from the Popigai crater in Russia. Varieties of tagamites are described based on crystallinity, texture and clast content. HT Tagamite differs from other material due to the complete melting of the crystalline matrix and then being subjected to rapid cooling.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 23.6 grams. Its dimensions are 45x22x15m. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.
It's a good quality cut NWA meteorite specimens showing interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. Some weathering shows the meteorite's time spent aging in the desert.

$57.20 CAD
Unit price perThis is a fabulous 13.8 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 35x20x15 mm. In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya. Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones. It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

Lockne is a 7.5km-wide impact structure that formed circa 455 Ma when an L-chondritic asteroid impacted mixed sedimentary and crystalline target rocks that were under a shallow epicontinental sea (500m deep) at the time. The feature and its surrounding impactite deposits were covered by Caledonian thrust nappes that also partly folded them.
Erosion has breached much of the overthrust rocks to show the impact site. Impactites include the Loftarstone (graywacke-like arenite with carbonate grains), Lockne Breccia (polymictic but mostly limestone clasts), Resurge deposits, Ynntjämen Breccia (monomictic, matrix-supported with calcareous-argillaceous matrix) and the Tandsbyn Breccia (monomictic crystalline ejecta). This crater has been suggested to be a doublet with the nearby smaller Målingen Crater, 16 km apart.

Bruderheim Meteorite | 2.80gr | Part Slice | L6 Class | Observed Fall 1960 Canada

Unit price perBruderheim Meteorite | 2.80gr | Part Slice | L6 Class | Observed Fall 1960 Canada
$319.85 CAD
Unit price perOn March 4th, 1960 at 1:06 a.m., a bright fireball, now know as the Bruderheim Meteorite, tore through Earth's atmosphere above Central Alberta. The meteorite travelled at 42 kilometres per second, its flash witnessed by hundreds of people as far away as the Rocky Mountain region of British Columbia. The giant meteorite detonated, creating a sound shock wave audible over 5,000 square kilometres. The sonic boom rattled windows, shook the foundations of homes, and startled families from their sleep. Shards of the stone rained down just north of Bruderheim, some forming pits as deep as 30 centimetres, many rebounding off the frozen ground and landing on the snow.
Based on eye-witness reports, it is believed that the Bruderheim Meteorite was first observed by Alexis Simon, a resident of the Paul’s Band Indian Reserve at Duffield, Alberta. He noted the north-easterly direction of the rock, its swift speed, and that it looked like it was giving off ‘flashes of fire’. He also described a rushing sound that resembled a high wind and lasted about 5 seconds after the fireball passed.
Hundreds of grit- and pebble-sized fragments of the meteorite were collected from the river ice. Undoubtedly many thousands of small fragments were not seen against the black earth of fields and were plowed under as farmers prepared to seed their crops.
Nearly 700 meteorite fragments were found with a total weight of over 660 pounds—making it the largest recovered fall in Canadian history.
This hard to acquire Bruderheim meteorite piece is a high quality crusted part slice specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Jensen Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

Unit price perDhofar 020 Meteorite | 40.3 Grams | Individual | H4/5 Shocked Chondrite | Oman Sahara Y2K
$121.00 CAD
Unit price perHere we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 40.3 grams. Its dimensions are 56x37x14 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."
