type IIAB iron meteorite	high	201 nanogram/gram	during meteor phase	10 microgram/gram	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	H	crystalline iron-nickel alloy	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	9.9 microgram/gram	2000 microgram/gram	low because it is tougher than stony meteorite	crater	strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity	recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods		higher than that of average solar system material	0.8 to 3 degrees C per million years		based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	90 to 165 kilometers	greater than 50 mm	0.20 % by weight	1.1 microgram/gram		2.6 microgram/gram	5.7 % of meteorite falls	6.9 microgram/gram	during impact phase		3563 kg	when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere	in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude	129 microgram/gram	2.1 microgram/gram	kamacite, daubreelite	large if the fall was witnessed	which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site	hexahedrite		6.15 % by weight	28 microgram/gram	43	planet or asteroid much larger than 100 km in diameter	low because it has higher tensile strength than stony meteorite	power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse)	5.3 milligram/gram		58.3 microgram/gram	173 microgram/gram	6 milligram/gram		which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
