The meteorite in detail

This meteorite slice belongs
to the rare class
of pallasites. Its structure
combines an iron-nickel matrix
with golden olivine crystals

Why are pallasites so rare?

The metal reveals a pattern
of Widmanstätten lines, formed
as the iron-nickel matrix cooled
and crystallised
in space over
millions of years

One distinctive feature is the uneven distribution of olivine inclusions. Some fragments are entirely metallic, with a Widmanstätten structure, while others
contain olivine in
large quantities
Age
4,5–4 billion years ago

The period when
the foundations
of the modern
world were laid

The meteorite formed 4–4.5 billion years ago,
before life
appeared on Earth
Time of impact

The last
ice age — a factor

in human
evolution

The meteorite probably fell during the last glacial period, between 2,000 and 100,000 years ago.

A celestial body weighing around 60 tonnes entered Earth's atmosphere
and broke into hundreds of fragments.

Seymchan meteorite

with olivine was
exhibited

in London in 2022

LONDON MINERAL EXHIBITION 2022
Expert commentary

The Seymchan meteorite was
discovered in 1967. It is a chondrite,

meaning that it consists mainly of rock formed in the early Solar System. One
of its interesting features is
the presence of large olivine grains.

Olivine is a mineral commonly found

in Earth's mantle and in some meteorites. It is an important indicator of processes that occurred

in the early Solar System, including the temperatures

and pressures under which materials formed.

Studying the Seymchan meteorite
and its olivine grains can provide valuable information about
how the early Solar System formed and the processes involved. This can help scientists understand what may occur in other planetary systems in our galaxy.

The Seymchan meteorite
with olivine is therefore an interesting object of study that can expand our knowledge of the origins of our Solar System and other planetary systems.
