SIKHOTE-ALIN METEORITE

 

A unique 549 gram individual displaying flight markings and a rare occurrence of an impact crater on the back.

 

Like it or not, the price of Sikhote-alin continues to raise rapidly as supply dwindles.  Don't miss out on acquiring this classic meteorite fall.

VERY RARE SPECIMEN

It measures 107 mm by 43 mm by 40 mm

sa549a.JPG (90288 bytes)  sa549b.JPG (96490 bytes)  sa579e.JPG (195614 bytes)  Because of the the lighting when I took these photos, I took two different views of the back side of this oriented meteorite.  The first photo shows more detail on the roll over rim, especially on the right hand side.  You can see the impact crater on the right hand side of the second photo.  The third photo is a close-up of the impact crater.  Craters like this occur on Sikhote-alin when impacted by another specimen during the violent firey descent through the atmosphere.  I have seen a few examples of this but is is quite rare.  This is one of the most defined crater that I have ever seen on Sikhote-alin.  Also, notice that the fusion crust is very thick and quite bubbly in places.  For more information on this unusual crater feature see this link:

sa549c.JPG (79112 bytes)  sa549d.JPG (94473 bytes)  These are side views of this specimen.  There are numerous flow lines in the fusion crust.

 

sa549e.JPG (59803 bytes)  This is a view looking straight down at the top of the meteorite as oriented in the two photos directly above.  Again there are flow lines in the fusion crust.
