| has antimony content 270 nanogram/gram | |
| type IAB/IIICD iron meteorite | has origin impact melting | |
| has origin asteroid wide partial melting | |
| iron meteorite | has relative abundance 5.7 % of meteorite falls | |
| has total mass of finds 454624 kg | |
| has number of finds 532 | |
| has weather resistance high | |
| has fragmentation probability low because it is tougher than stony meteorite | |
| has ablative mass loss low because it has higher tensile strength than stony meteorite | |
| metal-rich meteorite | has metal content higher than that of average solar system material | |
| meteorite | has fall date recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods | |
| has fall location strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity | |
| has fall coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude | |
| has fall map which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity | |
| can have crater image | |
| has original mass which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site | |
| has composition often minerals not found on Earth | |
| has impact velocity when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere | |
| has impact angle | |
| has monetary value large if the fall was witnessed | |
| has name based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred | |
| often produce power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse) | |
| can be associated with crater | |
| vaporizes completely if size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters | |
| can survive fall if size is larger than 3 mm and velocity is less than 24 km per second | |
| can survive fall if it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere | |
| can shatter during impact phase | |
| can fragment during meteor phase | |
| igneous rock | has composition silicates (with very few exceptions) | |
| has solidification mechanism | |
| has solidification timescale | |
| rock | has part mineral | |
| has genesis | |
