Rocks From Space Picture of the Day April 5, 2007
SANTA FÉ (provisory name). 745.80 gm endcut of a newly found iron from the South Americans, currently under classification.
The large cut surface shows a dramaticly disturbed structure with large schreibersite inclusions and single fields displaying distinct Neumann lines. Despite the ongoing scientific analysis it is yet uncertain to which group this meteorite will belong. NMR scalecube is 1 cm each side.
