Allende Meteorite


In 1969 a giant meteorite fell in Chihuahua Mexiceo. It happened at about 1 in the morning. It was roughly about the size of an automobile. It was the largest and most studied C Condrite* meteorite ever recorded. This meteor contains large aluminium and calcium deposits.
*Chondrites are stony meteorites that have not been modified due to melting or differentiation of the parent body.
