The IAB iron meteorites have complicated textures and chemical-mineralogical features that indicate a complex history for the parent body

the fragment measures 22x15x13 mm

This is typical of a short-time dynamic deformation under high confining pressure

Pyrite Crystal | Mined Drilled Core Sample | 78 Grams | Farnham, Québec, Canada | SO24 MeteoriteSpecimen The IAB iron meteorites haveThis is a fantastic crystallized pyrite core sample. The specimen is rounded with brassy pyrite crystals. A pyrite mine core sample is a cylindrical piece of rock, often several inches in diameter, extracted from the earth by a drilling rig to explore for pyrite deposits. These samples are used to physically examine the rock's geology, identify different mineral types like pyrite, and measure their abundance and distribution. Core samples are critical
