Eagle | thermal metamorphism | recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods | 8 | based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred | strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity | EL6 chondrite | in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude | 59 kg | |||||||||||||||
Pillistfer | undulatory extinction, irregular fractures | the nature and degree of thermal metamorphism or aqueous alteration | 5 to 10 GPa | negligible due to quick recovery of meteorite before corrosion begins | shock metamorphism | 12:30 pm August 8, 1868 | what witnesses saw or what was recorded by instruments | 1691 | undulatory extinction, irregular fractures, some planar fractures | undulatory extinction, irregular fractures | very weakly shocked | 23.25 kg | orthopyroxene for enstatite chondrite | Pillistfer | before, during or after other types of metamorphism | Aukoma, Kurla, Wahhe, and Sawiauk in Estonian SSR | S2 shock stage chondrite | S2 | higher because the fall was witnessed | 58° 40' N., 25° 44' E. | 485755 kg | ||
