Meteor Crater




The Adler Plantetarium exposes a piece of the meteorite which hit Earth about 50.000 years ago in Arizona - east of Flagstaff resulting into a crater, Barringer Crater or Meteor Crater. This Ni-Fe meteorite shown is about 500g and is normally exposed in the visitor's center in Arizona which I visited in 1997.
