{"title":"Hammadah al Hamra 280 - CK4 Carbonaceous Chondrite","description":"\u003cp\u003eHammadah al Hamra 280, often abbreviated to HaH 280, is a rare CK4 Carbonaceous Chondrite found in Libya in 2000. As a CK Carbonaceous Chondrite, it represents primitive solar system material that has also experienced significant thermal metamorphism on its parent body. Its type 4 classification indicates that original Chondritic features are still present, but have been modified by heat and recrystallisation over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaH 280 specimens typically show a dark, compact matrix with subdued chondrules and oxidised mineral features characteristic of the CK group. Compared with less altered Carbonaceous Chondrites, it has a more thermally processed appearance, often with a dense, dark grey to black interior. Its recorded shock and weathering history also reflect both impact processing before arrival on Earth and terrestrial exposure after landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Hammadah al Hamra 280 provides insight into how heat alters primitive Carbonaceous material while preserving its broader chemical identity. For collectors, it offers a scarce and well-documented Libyan CK Chondrite with strong scientific interest and a distinctive appearance. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material from the early solar system, altered by heat and preserved as part of a rare Carbonaceous group.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Collection_Place_Holder_1d2b11ac-699a-4208-b893-697b562ba7d4.jpg?v=1779195730","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/hammadah-al-hamra-280.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
