differentiated meteorite comparison table

Subject has number of find has nickel content has metal content has weather resistance has fragmentation probability has distinguishing feature has total mass of find has definition has relative abundance has ablative mass loss

differentiated achondrite 70 low high because it is more friable than iron meteorite no chondrules 1606 kg 7.1 % of meteorite falls high because it is more friable than iron meteorite

metal-rich meteorite 1691 always greater than 4 % higher than that of average solar system material which depends on its composition during meteor phase which depends on composition 485755 kg meteorite with metal content higher than that of average solar system material directly proportional to initial velocity
