{"title":"Iron, Ataxites","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAtaxites are a rare structural class of Iron meteorites distinguished by their very high nickel content and lack of visible Widmanstätten patterns. Formed over 4.5 billion years ago within the cores of differentiated asteroids, Ataxites crystallised under conditions that prevented the development of the large interlocking crystal structures seen in most other Iron meteorites. Their unique composition and cooling history place them in a distinct category within metallic meteorites.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAtaxites are composed primarily of iron-nickel metal, often containing more than 16 percent nickel. Because of this high nickel content, they typically display a fine-grained or featureless metallic structure when cut and etched, rather than the classic crystalline patterns seen in Octahedrites. Some specimens may show subtle banding or internal features, but these are usually much less pronounced. Their appearance is often clean, dense, and uniform, setting them apart visually from other Iron meteorites.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eStudying Ataxites provides valuable insight into how composition influences crystal formation and cooling within asteroid cores. Their structure helps scientists understand the relationship between nickel content and metallic crystallisation processes. For collectors, Ataxites are highly desirable due to their rarity and distinctive characteristics. Each specimen represents a less common form of core material, offering a different perspective within Iron meteorite collections.\u003c\/h4\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gebel-kamil-iron-ungrouped-ataxite-196-86g","title":"Gebel Kamil - Iron, Ungrouped (Ataxite) - Complete Individual - 196.86g - Egypt","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"553\"\u003eGebel Kamil is an Ungrouped Ataxite Iron meteorite from the East Uweinat Desert of Egypt, directly associated with the Kamil impact crater.

Unlike Octahedrite Iron meteorites, Ataxites generally lack visible Widmanstätten patterns due to their high nickel content, so Dronino is often valued more for its natural form, dense metallic character, and unusual surface morphology. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1067\" data-end=\"1552\"\u003eFor collectors, Dronino offers a distinctive Russian Iron meteorite with strong visual character and an uncommon classification. Its combination of Ungrouped Ataxite chemistry, recognised provenance, and naturally sculpted surfaces makes it especially appealing for display pieces and specialised Iron meteorite collections. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid metal, altered by long terrestrial exposure into one of the more recognisable forms among modern Iron meteorite finds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56204863013190,"sku":"DRN-01\/13","price":2511.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/files\/Dronino0113-5.jpg?v=1773758869"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Dronino-095.jpg?v=1778187073","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/ataxites.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
