Description: Catalogue Note: Over 4.5 billion years in interplanetary space, asteroidal collisions were a frequent occurrence. These collisions created shock veins, or weak points, in the interior of stone meteoroids. So, when that rock from space enters our atmosphere, the stress is strong enough on the meteoroid to often break along these planes of weakness, which are more fragile that the surrounding material. This often makes for sharp fractures, or splits, creating very angular shapes. This example under review shows evidence of many shock planes in random directions. The different orientations and angles of the three adjoining areas highlighted (pictures 1 & 2), and on the opposite sides, are very unusual! An oddity! Shipping Worldwide!
