main group pallasite			1 % or less by volume	mixture of iron-nickel alloy and non-metallic minerals				from angular fragments to rounded	35 to 85 % by volume	strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity			higher than that of average solar system material	2.5 to 4 degrees C per million years	based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	from homogeneous to heterogeneous	78 to 97 kilometers	Fo 88+-1		PAL	1.5 % of meteorite falls					7207 kg	1 % or less by volume	in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude			heterogeneous elements are zoned between grain rim and core	metallic iron plus olivine; core/mantle boundary samples	0.1 to 7.3 % by volume	0.3 to 2.8 % by volume	pallasite	typically one centimeter			always greater than 4 %					33	planet or asteroid much larger than 100 km in diameter	schreibersite				which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
meteorite find										strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity					based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred				can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents			lower because the fall was not witnessed				485755 kg		in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude				often minerals not found on Earth			meteorite			when the meteorite was found						1691	meteoroid from interplanetary space or fragment dislodged from another planet, moon or planetesimal		a meteorite whose fall was not witnessed			which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
