Fell 1516 A.D., found 1958 A.DSold for (Inc. bp): £52
An amorphous fragment of nickel iron meteorite (1AB), cleaned. 3.25 grams, 23 mm
Found Nantan, Nandan County, Guangzi Region, China. Property of a Sussex, UK, teacher.
The Nantan meteorite fell in 1516, as recorded in ancient Chinese texts; the fall exploded during descent which resulted in a shower of many individual iron meteorites over an area some 28km x 8km in Nantan County, Guangxi, China. Classified as an iron meteorite; 111CD Course Octohedrite, the composition is approximately 92% iron, 6% nickel and contains more than ten other minerals including kamacite, taenite, dominate, plessite, schreibersite, triolite, graphite and others. In 2000, pieces of the Nantan meteorite were incorporated into an art installation for The Bull Ring Shopping Centre in Birmingham, England. Today, a plaque commemorates the occasion.
