description | Since the 100 anniversary of the fall of an iron meteorite in the Soča Valley (meteorite Avče, fell in 1908) theinterest in meteorites has increased substantialy in Slovenia. The number of presumed meteorite finds increasedaccordingly. Among the numerous swaps, different slag and iron minerals prevail. This paper presents a new materialwhich can be mistanken for iron meteorite, a ferromanganese alloy, which was found in the vicinity of Kropa.The vast majority of morphological characteristics and some physical properties of this alloy are very similar toiron nickel meteorite. |
