Octahedrite

Japanese: octahedrite
Octahedrite

...Due to the close correspondence between the average composition of iron meteorites and the average composition of the metallic phase of chondrites, it is assumed that iron meteorites represent metallic phases separated by partial or complete melting of chondritic materials, which correspond to the Earth's central core. Iron meteorites are subdivided according to their Ni content into hexahedrite (Ni 4-6%), octahedrite (Ni 6-14%), and ataxite (Ni 14% or more). Octahedrite, which accounts for about 85% of iron meteorites, contains kamacite (α-iron, Ni 4-6%) and taenite (γ-iron, Ni 30-60%). ...
