ENSISHEIM, France
This meteorite fell in 1492 and is one of the oldest known falls
from which there is recovered material. For hundreds of years, a large
stone was kept chained in the local church, to prevent it from wandering
off in the same manner in which it arrived! Metal is visible, but there's
almost no visible evidence of chondrules. The high petrologic end-number
6, means it was highly metamorphosed inside of the parent body. |
