Los 21 | END PIECE OF ABA PANU
Schätzwert
£ 7 000 – 10 000
On the afternoon of April 19, 2018, a large fireball detonated over southwestern Nigeria approximately 100 miles north of Lagos. Many stones were collected at multiple locations and the meteorite is named Aba Panu for the village near the center of the strewn field. Aba Panu is a primitive chondrite, which is to say it was not exposed to undue amounts of heat and is largely unmetamorphosed (unchanged) from the time it formed; in effect, what is seen here approximates the raw ingredients of the planets.
