A sculptural beauty from Space.
Micrometeorite [NMM 2034] is an average sized (~0.25 millimeters) cryptocrystalline (CC) type micrometeorite with aerodynamic form. It has large olivine (forsterite) crystal domains in a “turtleback” variety. The color is lighter than normal, possibly due to extended oxidation during formation, possibly a clue to atmospheric entry angle and origin. In the front there is a large nickel-iron mound migrated to the front during the atmospheric deceleration. A few smaller magnetite crystals are visible on the surface in the SEM image. The stone was found 2019 0424 on the roof of Alf Bjerckes vei 26, Oslo, Norway.
