Description:

This one was found in NAN DAN, QUANXI PROVINCE, CHINA. The Chinese considered meteorites to be sacred stones from heaven. Lihu and Yaozhai towns, Nandan County, Guangxi, China. 25 degrees 6’ N, 107 degree 42’E Nantan iron meteorites represent one of the rare witnessed iron meteorite falls in the world.

Detailed mapping showed that the Nantan meteorites were distributed in an area of 27 - 28 Km long and 8 Km wide, overlying Permian limestone and surface soils. The occurrence of northwestern elongated zone concurs with the historical description of falling direction. Nantan meteorites have different shapes: spherical, triangle, flat-iron shaped, elliptical, semi-sheered, tongue-shaped, irregular, and so on. Fresh meteorite surfaces are black, and commonly characterized with angular or round melted pits. The ones deeply weathered are brown and lack a melted surface. Many Nantan meteorites have been restored (acid cleaning) to a bright finish so that the natural etching is evident and coated to prevent oxidation.
