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.
The new mineral was found along with hexamolybdenum. [2] These minerals, are believed to demonstrate conditions during the early stages of the Solar System, as is the case with many CV3 carbonaceous chondrites such as the Allende meteorite. [2] It is named after the Allende meteorite that fell in 1969 near Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico ...

The meteorites probably crashed into Earth more than 10,000 years ago. [2] For centuries, Mexican people living near the meteorites used them as a source of metal for various tools. They were first described by conquistadores in about 1776. [1] The total known mass is about 3 tonnes. [3]
Hexamolybdenum lies on a continuum of high-temperature alloys that are found in meteorites and allows a link between osmium, ruthenium, and iron rich meteoritic alloys. [4] The name hexamolybdenum refers to the crystal symmetry (primitive hexagonal) and the molybdenum rich composition. [4] The Allende meteorite fell in 1969 near Pueblito de ...
