Лот 56 | CHICO STONE METEORITE
Оценочная стоимость
£ 700 – 1 000
The complete stone meteorite blanketed in desert patina, with specimen number C77.5 and original museum label from the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico.
Chico is a rare impact-melt breccia, having suffered an energetic collision on its parent asteroid. Portions of the rock were completely melted; unmelted portions survive as shocked clasts flanked by impact melt.

Many small stones were found on a ranch in New Mexico in 1954. All were sold to the University of New Mexico, making them rare in private hands.

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.
