Iron meteorite which fell on 27 March 1886, in Arkansas, USA. It is a perfect exemple of an oriented meteorite and is regarded as one of the most “beautiful” meteorites in the world. A few years after its fall in 1886, it was generously donated to the NHM by the factory-owner Albert Mayer von Gunthof.

So its all iron?
It looks like it could be a Pokemon.
why doesnt these meteorites have a crushed flattened side with which they hit the ground?
quick google search says impact speed is around 16 to 72 km per second (around 58.000 to 260.000 km/h)
