Los 20 | MASLYANINO METEORITE SLICE
Polished to mirror finish one side and etched to other. The 26-kilogram mass of Maslyanino, from which this was cut, was found in a wheat field in May 1992. Unlike most iron meteorites (which crystallized in the cores of differentiated asteroids), the IAB group probably formed by a tremendously energetic collision at the surface of a chondritic asteroid. This impact triggered local separation of silicate and metal, and slow cooling of buried molten metal beneath the floor of a crater.

Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
