Estimated delivery between 28 December and 02 January.
Here we have for you a superb end cut of the famous Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 3.12 grams. Its dimensions are 20x19x5 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. This particular specimen is a cut of a eucrite nodule with none of the typical mesosiderite of Vaca Muerta.
This rare specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem® specimen card.
