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

pyroxene grouplet pallasite 1 % or less by volume large mm sized pyroxene crystals poikilitically containing small olivine grains 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 PAL 1.5 % of meteorite falls 7207 kg 1 % or less by volume in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude metallic iron plus olivine; core/mantle boundary samples pallasite typically one centimeter always greater than 4 % 33 planet or asteroid much larger than 100 km in diameter

Vermillion meteorite find 0.2 % by volume large mm sized pyroxene crystals poikilitically containing small olivine grains rounded to subrounded 1.5 cm 14 % by volume grain field in Marshall County, Kansas higher than that of average solar system material 2.5 to 4 degrees C per million years Vermillion from homogeneous to heterogeneous 78 to 97 kilometers can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents PAL lower because the fall was not witnessed 485755 kg 1 % or less by volume 39° 44.18' N., 96° 21.68' W. often minerals not found on Earth 1.5 cm always greater than 4 % May, 1991 34.36 kg
