Talsint Mesosiderite Meteorite Slice – 0.70 g | MoroccoTalsint Mesosiderite Meteorite Slice This authentic slice of the Talsint mesosiderite meteorite originates from the famous fall site near Talsint in Eastern Morocco (32. 5940N, 3. 4475W). Mesosiderites are rare stony iron meteorites composed of a mixture of silicate minerals and metallic nickel iron. The polished surface clearly displays the classic mesosiderite brecciated structure with silicate clasts embedded within a metallic matrix. Visible
