A single piece weighing 6.2 kilograms was found during plowing. This meteorite contains fine- and coarse-grained calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions, considered among the oldest materials in the solar system.\nOxidation and geological age\nAnalyses have shown that Axtell exhibits signs of oxidation, which suggests it remained on Earth longer than other meteorites.\nCurrent location and notable fragments\nThe Axtell meteorite is currently held in collections of various collectors and museums. Notable fragments include a 670g sample at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, a 322g piece at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and a 165g fragment housed at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Freiburg, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027658903877,"sku":"MEAX04","price":136.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/40106-1_meteorite-axtell-0-01g---texas--usa.jpg?v=1779377535","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/meteorite-axtell-001g-texas-usa-meax04","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
