NWA 10158 Mésosidérite #23 – 3,5 g

24,97 $

NWA 10158 is a mesosiderite meteorite.

It is a rare type, but the particularity of NWA 10158 is that it must have arrived on Earth a long time ago for proof of its terrestrialisation.
NWA 10158 does not look like a classical mesosiderite and it is only with a scientific analysis that its exact type has been determined.

This meteorite is nevertheless an aesthetic meteorite, and each cut slice is different.

Lignite couche K-T Mexique #18 – 1 g

43,99 $

This fossilized charcoal is a rare witness to the precise moment of the cataclysm that marked the beginning of the extinction of the dinosaurs.

This fossilized material comes from forest residues, rich in iridium, charred following a giant meteorite impact in the Yucatan Peninsula ~65 million years ago.

Outcrops of the K-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary rich in this lignite have appeared in different regions of Mexico in the Sierra Madre Oriental.

This lignite is currently protected and therefore rare to find on the market.
