Lot 56 | RARE INDONESIAN METEORITE — PARTIAL TJEREBON SLICE WITH CRUST
Valeur estimée
$ 1 000 – 2 000
As the meteorites Mt. Tazerzait and Baszkowka appear similar to Tjerebon, which has its idiosyncrasies, they likely originated on the same parent body. Each appears unique until you see one of the others: all of these meteorites share the same petrologic type, a low degree of shock, high porosity, a long cosmic-ray exposure age and similar noble gas abundances.
Tinted with hues ranging from cocoa to sienna to sand, along with a long single rim of fusion crust, this is a fine partial slice of a difficult to obtain Indonesian meteorite.
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.
141 x 103 x 4mm (5.5 x 4 x 0.1 in.) and 181.9g (0.4 lbs)
