Product Specifications and Authenticity

This meteorite, authenticated by geologist Juan Avilés Poblador, a member of the International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA 5681), guarantees its authenticity. Carbonaceous chondrites, like this CV3 type, are among the most primitive meteorites, representing only 4.6% of meteorite falls. The thin section reveals the presence of CAIs (Ca–Al-rich inclusions), which are key to understanding the formation of the solar system.

• CAIs are among the first solids to condense from the cooling protoplanetary disk.
• Lead (Pb–Pb) isotopic dating of a CAI from NWA 2364 indicates an age of 4568.22 ± 0.17 Mya, marking the beginning of the planetary system's formation.
