Iron meteories, such as this slab, are believed to originate in the cores of asteroids.
The crystals in this slab are exceptionally long,
telling us that the alloy in the meteorite cooled
very slowly (over several million years). The
asteroid must have been broken apart by a large
impact, causing the Seymchan meteorite to hit
the Earth and burn through the atmosphere.

Pattern:
Widmanstätten patterns, also known as Thomson structures, are figures of long nickel-iron crystals, found in the octahedrite iron meteorites and some pallasites.
