FUN FACTS:
Agoudal meteorites are classified as an iron meteorite, specifically a Coarse Octahedrite. This type of meteorite is composed primarily of iron and nickel and has a crystalline structure that forms distinct pattern, known as Widmanstätten pattern, when cut and polished.
The Agoudal meteorite was discovered in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, near the village of Agoudal, hence its name. It was found in a remote and arid region, typical of many meteorite finds, where the harsh environment helps preserve these extraterrestrial objects.
The Agoudal meteorite is estimated to have fallen to Earth relatively recently in geological terms, about 40,000 years ago. The impact likely created a strewn field, where fragments of the meteorite are scattered over a wide area, making it a valuable site for meteorite hunters.
Like many iron meteorites, the Agoudal meteorite has a high nickel content, which contributes to its durability and resistance to corrosion. This composition is similar to that of the Earth’s core, providing scientists with insights into the materials that make up the inner planets of our solar system.
