Silicated Iron Meteorite Collection
Silicated iron meteorites are sort of a group between
groups. While considered irons, they nevertheless contain significant
amounts of silicates and other inclusions. Occasionally, as in the case of
the Caddo County specimen, two or three categories of meteorite are
represented in the same piece at once. Because of their silicate content,
silicated irons tend to be lighter than pure irons. |
