 (LL A) Meteorite_01.jpg)
Name: Iron (II A) Meteorite
Location: Bennett County, South Dakota
Date: 2007
Caption: This meteorite was found in 1934. It is classified as a Hexahedrite and lacks a Widmanstatten structure. The fine striations are called Neumann bands and due to the impact. This meteorite is low in nickel.

 Meteorite_01.jpg)
Name: Staunton - Iron (III E) Meteorite
Location: Augusta County, Virginia
Date: 2007
Caption: This Iron (III E) Meteorite contains a distinctive crystal pattern known as the Widmanstaten structure. It was fashioned over thousands or millions of years in a low gravity environment at an extremely low rate of cooling producing large crystals of nickel-rich and nickel-poor metallic bands. Such a structure is impossible to forge making the identity of this and similar iron meteorites absolute. Laboratories are only able to imitate it on the microscopic scale. This sample has been cut, polished and etched with acid to enhance the view of the Widmanstaten structure.
