DescriptionD'Orbigny meteorite, fragment.jpg | This rare angrite was discovered by a farmer plowing a corn field in July 1979 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The unusual stone was originally thought to be an Indian artifact and it remained on the farm for nearly 20 years before speculation arose that it might in fact be a meteorite. Confirmation of it's extraterrestrial status was finally achieved in 2000 after a sample was analyzed in Vienna. The 16.55 kg meteorite was determined to be an exceedingly rare achondrite known as an angrite. D'Orbigny is characterized by prominent vesicles which are rarely seen in meteorites. | ||
