WATSON, South Australia

This is a highly unusual meteorite. Within this otherwise ordinary iron meteorite is a large intrusion of achondritic stone. It is as though the metal flowed around the existing stone or perhaps the stone was injected in a molten state into a seam in the metal. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be any heat alteration of either material at their interface. This is a 2 Kg slice.
