Description
Tanezrouft 091 was discovered in 2020 in the Sahara desert. It is classified as a mesosiderite. It is one of the best mesosiderites in the world according to its quality and the size of the slice.
Mesosiderites are thought to originate at the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids, where the metallic core meets the lighter rocks. They were then shattered to space through another meteorite impact until they fell on Earth. 16 Psyche is the main candidate as a parent body of mesosiderites. It orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt.
