ID#: 7505
Description: Almost full slice. Gift from Dr. Byambaa, Mongolian Academy of Sciences. 1996 trip to Mongolia. This is one of the best iron meteorites I ever saw. Unfortunately we couldn't make a good photo of it. The stone in museum is behind the glass (see last picture). The best part of this oriented iron is on the bottom. It looks like thousands of iron drops. Photo made by Jurgen Nauber.
