Talsint Mesosiderite Meteorite Slice – 2.43 g | Stony-Iron Meteorite Main where chondrules are still visible

where chondrules are still visible but well-recrystallized

making small fragments highly collectible among meteorite collectors and planetary science enthusiasts

making them both scientifically valuable and visually stunning

This polished slice reveals the characteristic mesosiderite brecciated structure with silicate clasts embedded in a fine-grained matrix containing dispersed iron-nickel metal

rounded olivine crystals (up to 4 mm) set within a weathered iron-nickel metal matrix enriched with troilite and schreibersite

Talsint Mesosiderite Meteorite Slice – 2.43 g | Stony-Iron Meteorite Main where chondrules are still visibleTalsint Mesosiderite Meteorite Slice 2. 43 g Stony Iron Meteorite Scientific Overview The Talsint meteorite is classified as a mesosiderite stony iron meteorite. Mesosiderites are rare meteorites composed of a mixture of silicate minerals and metallic iron nickel formed during major asteroid collisions early in the history of the Solar System. Fall Location This specimen originates from the well known Talsint meteorite fall site in Eastern Morocco
