Gibeon	high	9 nanogram/gram	during meteor phase	1.9 microgram/gram	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	type IVA iron meteorite	Of	crystalline iron-nickel alloy	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	7.6 microgram/gram	200 microgram/gram	low because it is tougher than stony meteorite	crater	Great Namaqualand, Namibia, Africa	pre-historic times		higher than that of average solar system material	11 to 500 degrees C per million years		Gibeon	8 to 49 kilometers	0.3 ± 0.5 mm (fine)	0.8 % by weight	1.5 microgram/gram		4.6 microgram/gram	5.7 % of meteorite falls	5.9 microgram/gram	during impact phase		22254 kg	when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere	Latitude 25 degrees 20 minutes North, Longitude 18 degrees East	150 microgram/gram	0.6 microgram/gram	kamacite, taenite	large if the fall was witnessed	greater than several tons		1838	8.0 % by weight	140 microgram/gram		planet or asteroid much larger than 100 km in diameter	39	low because it has higher tensile strength than stony meteorite	90% iron, 7.93% Ni, 0.41% Co, 0.04% P, 2.0 ppm Ga, 0.12 ppm Ge, 2.3 ppm Ir	power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse)	4.0 milligram/gram		2.15 microgram/gram	0.124 microgram/gram	0.88 milligram/gram
