Comments:

What is neat about this metorite other than being a meteorite, are the white spots on the meteorite.  They are called "CAI's".  CAI means Calcium Aluminum Intrusions.  They are believed to have  formed during the explosion of dying stars which is called a supernova.  That means they would be older than our own solar system/universe which is around 4.7 billion years old!

I also like the circular chondrite with the red bulls eye center.  The ring around this chondrite is different than the material around and in it.
