An interesting Chondrite found in Mexico; classified as H5, this example shows some regmaglypting and primary fusion crust. The fall was stewn across an area about 10 km north of the village of Nuevo Mercurio, Zacatecas, Mexico, 250 km South West of Monterrey. A bright fireball, travelling North East to South West and visible over a radius of at least 200 km, exploded over north-central Mexico and scattered meteorites over an elliptical area more than 10 km in length. Only 5 kg of material has been found to date. 102 grams, 52mm (2"). Found near Nuevo Mercurio, Mexico, 1978. Chondrite is a type of meteorite containing mineral spheres called chondrules. Most chondrites are believed to originate in the asteroids that orbit the sun between Jupiter and Mars.
