The Allende meteorite is the largest carbonaceous chondrite ever found on Earth. The fireball was witnessed at 01:05 on February 8, 1969, falling over the Mexican state of Chihuahua . [ 1 ] After it broke up in the atmosphere , an extensive search for pieces was conducted and over 2 tonnes (2.2 tons) were recovered.
Allendeite was found as nano-crystals in an ultrarefractory inclusion in the Allende meteorite. [2] The Allende meteorite has shown to be full of new minerals, after nearly forty years it has produced one in ten of the now known minerals in meteorites. [2] This CV3 carbonaceous chondrite was the largest ever recovered on earth and is referred ...
The exact worth of a meteorite varies depending on the specific type of meteorite in question. An 82-pound iron meteorite originating from an asteroid recently sold for $44,100 — about $540 per ...
Carbonaceous chondrites or C chondrites are a class of chondritic meteorites comprising at least 8 known groups and many ungrouped meteorites. They include some of the most primitive known meteorites. The C chondrites represent only a small proportion (4.6%) [1] of meteorite falls.
Turns out UCLA has "the largest collection of meteorites on the west coast" with over 2,400 samples ... which is a small collection compared to the more than 50,000 meteorites NASA reports have ...
Hexamolybdenum was found as nano-crystals in an ultrarefractory inclusion in the Allende meteorite. [4] The Allende meteorite has shown to be full of new minerals, after nearly forty years it has produced one in ten of the now known minerals in meteorites.

Anders went on to study samples of the Allende meteorite, the largest carbonaceous chondrite ever found on Earth. Results of these studies suggested elements 111–115 (today roentgenium, copernicium, nihonium, flerovium, and moscovium) [4] as the most likely candidates for the progenitor of CCF Xe.
Panguite is a type of titanium oxide mineral first discovered as an inclusion within the Allende meteorite, and first described in 2012. [4] [5]The hitherto unknown meteorite mineral was named for the ancient Chinese god Pan Gu, the creator of the world through the separation of yin (earth) from yang (sky).
