The Sikhote-Alin Meteorite

The Sikhote-Alin Meteorite

The Sikhote-Alin meteorite fell in eastern Russia in February of 1947. The overlapping regmaglypts or thumbprints on the meteorite are caused by surface melting as the meteorite fell through our atmosphere. Regmaglypts are one of the surface features used to identify meteorite types. Sikhote-Alin is comprised of approximately 93% iron, 6% nickel and 1% trace elements.
