This is a superb and rare specimen of the attractive, orange-red Santa Catharina classified meteorite weighing 9.02 grams. It measures 27x19x13 mm. This Iron IAB-ung classified meteorite was discovered in 1875 by Goncalves da Rosa on the island of São Francisco in Brazil.
The meteorite is estimated to have collided with Earth about 70-110 million years ago, creating a 12-kilometer crater in the area of Varejao in present-day Santa Catharina. Approximately 7 tons of this material has been recovered.
The Iron IAB-ung is an association of iron meteorites, including the former groups IAB and IIICD. The new term "IAB complex" includes a variety of newly defined groups, including the "IAB main group", grouplets, and ungrouped meteorites.
This difficult to find specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Naturalia and a Canagem collection specimen cards.
