Krasnojarsk (Pallasite, stony-iron) || found 1749,Russia. A mass of material of about 700 kg wasdiscovered in 1749 on the side of Mount Bolshoi Imir,about 235 km (145 miles) south of Krasnojarsk The German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas studied in1772 a large iron mass that had earlier been found inthe mountains near Krasnojarsk. This unusual masscontained large olivine crystals set in an iron matrix,strange enough to catch Peter Pallas’ attention. He thoroughly described the unusual find in one of hisreports, not knowing that it was a genuine rock fromspace. Some decades later, in the early days ofmeteoritics, it became obvious that Pallas haddiscovered a new type of meteorite. Thereafter, allsimilar stony-irons were named for him, and the typespecimen of the pallasite group, Krasnojarsk, becameknown as the Pallas Iron.

Imilac (pallasite)Individual with fusion crustWeight: 29.80gSize: 38 x 25 x 15 mm

Imilac (Pallasite main group, stony-iron, angulareolivine shape) || found 1822, Atacam desert, Chile, 920kilograms total weight. Numerous masses, with individuals up to 450lb, werefound in a valley to the SW of Imilac, T.Allan, Trans.Roy. Soc. Edinburgh, 1831, 11, p.223, L.Fletcher, Min.Mag., 1889, 8, p.243.

Coordinates, transported masses, strewnfield,craters, metal deformation, V.F.Buchwald, Handbook ofIron Meteorites, Univ. of California, 1975, p.1393.Pallasites are easily the most beautiful meteorites,especially when cut and polished. The pallasitesconsist of olivine crystals that may be as large as 1 cmacross embedded in a Fe-Ni alloy matrix with minortroilite (FeS). When etched, the metal phase mayexhibit a Widmanstatten pattern. Pallasites areconsidered to be the result of mixing between solidsilicate mantle and liquid metal core at the core-mantleboundary of a fully differentiated parent body. Thismineralogy is consistent with complete differentiation ofa chondritic asteroid, leaving only olivine in the silicateresidue at the core-mantle boundary.
