The official total known weight is 1,050 kilograms (2,310 lb), but it is probably underestimated. Less than 0.2 of all meteorites are pallasites. Post-accident recovered meteorites are safe and not contaminated because the radiation affects only the first few inches of soil, nevertheless meteorite hunting in the area is not entirely safe. Pallasites are widely considered the most beautiful meteorites, and Imilac is among the most coveted. They are stony-iron meteorites derived from an extinct planet that was detroyed during the formation of. The area was contaminated in 1986 during the Chernobyl disaster and falls now in the Periodic Control Zone. Pallasites are the most beautiful of all meteorites. Meteorites were found in a zone about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) wide crossed by the Dnieper River. Classification - Pallasite Stony-Iron Meteorite, Found - Isiolo Province, Kenya, Africa Comes with a display stand and with description label. It has been proposed that pallasites represents the interface between the stone mantle and the metal core of differentiated asteroids. Pallasites are not common they compose only 1.8% of all known meteorites. Olivine crystals represent about 37% of the weight of the meteorite. Pallasites are highly differentiated meteorites and provide a unique sample from the deep interiors of solar system parent bodies. Composition and classification īrahin is a Main Group pallasite, with angular shaped olivine embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. In 2002 a single mass of 227 kilograms (500 lb) was found at a depth of 3 meters at the northern end of Brahin strewnfield.
They are thought to originate at the core-mantle boundary of differentiated. Since 1807 several masses were recovered from the site.ĭuring World War II, samples of Brahin were stolen in Kiev by German soldiers and some samples disappeared also in Minsk. Pallasites are considered by many to be the most beautiful type of meteorite.

In 1807 two masses of 80 kilograms (180 lb) and 20 kilograms (44 lb) were found by farmers of Kaporenki, a village in the district of Bragin. Pallasites are some of the most beautiful space rocks that can be found with a metal detector.
