Description
A steel gray to anthracite colored, 28-gram heavy Meteorite fragment from the Odessa Meteorite with a lot of history. While we have numerous meteorite impact craters on our planet, Odessa, named for the town closest to the fall, Odessa, Texas, is one of only a few craters in the world that are associated with recovered meteorite material. Furthermore, it was one of the first craters recognized as impact craters in North America in 1920 by Daniel Moreau Barringer, eponym of the Barringer Crater, later Meteor Crater in northern Arizona.
