It was found on the shore of an artificial water reservoir about 27 kilometers da the town of Pallasovka in the Volgograd region. It was a single stone weighing 198 kilograms, discovered by a local resident N. F. Charitonov. A sample was later brought to the Vernadsky Institute in Moscow by geologist A. E. Milanovsky.\nOrigin of the Name Pallasovka\nThe town of Pallasovka is named after the notable naturalist Peter Pallas, who in the 18th century contributed to the research of the first known pallasite found near Krasnoyarsk. The entire group of these meteorites is named after him.\nComposition and Appearance of the Meteorite\nPallasovka is composed approximately half of olivine—a translucent greenish-yellow mineral—and half of metallic iron-nickel. Its surface is distinctly covered with a dark brown fusion crust with regmaglypts, dimples formed during atmospheric entry.\nMineral and Chemical Composition\nPallasovka belongs to the main group of pallasites, the most common subgroup of this rare meteorite type. Its composition matches well with Altro members of the group, but it does show some differences, for example in the chemical composition of chromite. Chemically, it contains nickel, cobalt, iridium, Oro, platinum, gallium, and germanium, as well as minerals such as troilite, schreibersite, and chromite.\nCurrent Storage of the Meteorite\nCurrently, part of the meteorite is held in scientific collections, such as at the Vernadsky Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027649597765,"sku":"MEPA18","price":202.37,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/67657-2_meteorite-pallasit-pallasovka---russia.jpg?v=1779377512","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/products\/meteorite-pallasit-pallasovka-russia-mepa18","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
