Meteorite

Name/Title

Meteorite

Description

Meteorites are fragments of extraterrestrial material that survive passage through Earth’s atmosphere and reach its surface. Most originate from asteroids, although a small proportion have been identified as material ejected from the Moon or Mars. Meteorites are conventionally divided into stony, iron, and stony-iron groups according to their mineralogical and chemical composition. A more specific classification of this specimen would require its documented identification or laboratory analysis.
