Robert A. Haag's
Pallasite Meteorite Collection
While
all pallasites are by definition a mix of nickel-iron and olivine, the
nickel-iron matrix can vary in relative nickel content, and the olivine
crystals can range from nearly perfect spherules to broken up, angular
fragments. The olivine crystals can also be anywhere from a few millimeters
in diameter to groups of crystals literally the size of footballs! |
