Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 84.4 Grams | Individual | Mesosiderite A1 | Chile
Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 84.4 Grams | Individual | Mesosiderite A1 | Chile
This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 84.4 grams. Its dimensions are 49x43x28 mm.
This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.
This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Rock Crystal | 1.45 Kg, | Mt Shadwell, Australia
Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Rock Crystal | 1.45 Kg, | Mt Shadwell, Australia
Volcanic bombs are large clots of volcanic lava rock 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 lava rocks contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.
Mount Shadwell, a dormant volcano, was formed 25,000 years ago and is believed to have last erupted about 5,000 years ago. The town of Mortlake, which is situated at the foot of the volcano, is the self-proclaimed olivine capital of Australia. This is where large ejected rocks from Mt Shadwell, called volcanic bombs, are found.
This huge museum piece has been cut to show the green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.
