About the Item

A beautifully preserved fragment from the famed Sikhote-Alin meteorite, which fell to Earth on 12 February 1947 in the largest recorded meteorite fall in history. Entering the atmosphere above the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in southeastern Siberia, the meteorite exploded into thousands of pieces. The present fragment, with its twisted and undulating surface, is characteristic of fragments torn apart high in the atmosphere and subsequently sculpted by the extreme heat and violence of atmospheric entry. Its surface is marked by pronounced thumb-shaped depressions known as regmaglypts, formed through intense atmospheric ablation. Flow lines are also visible, created as molten metal streamed off the surface during its descent toward Earth. A precious, yet tactile object and a remarkable natural sculpture. Provenance Discovered in Maritime Territory, Siberia, Russia (46° 9’ N, 134° 39’ E) Condition Intact and unrestored.
