type IIC iron meteorite	high	150 nanogram/gram	during meteor phase	6.4 microgram/gram	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	Opl	crystalline iron-nickel alloy	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	8.2 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		based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	less than 0.2 mm	1.1 microgram/gram		6 microgram/gram	5.7 % of meteorite falls	8.4 microgram/gram	during impact phase		201 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	260 microgram/gram	kamacite, taenite	which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site	large if the fall was witnessed	plessitic octahedrite		10.8 % by weight	87 microgram/gram	7	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)	6.5 milligram/gram		37.3 microgram/gram	94.6 microgram/gram	5.3 milligram/gram		which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
