{"title":"Pallasites - PES (Eagle Station Group)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePallasites - PES (Eagle Station Group) are a rare and chemically distinct subgroup of Pallasite meteorites, separate from the more common Main Group. Like all Pallasites, they are believed to originate from the boundary between the core and mantle of differentiated planetary bodies, formed over 4.5 billion years ago. However, the Eagle Station Group has a unique composition that suggests a different parent body or formation history, making them particularly important for understanding the diversity of early solar system processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePES Pallasites are composed of olivine crystals set within an iron-nickel matrix, similar in structure to Main Group Pallasites, but with notable differences in mineral chemistry and texture. The olivine crystals can range in colour from pale yellow to green, often appearing slightly more altered or fractured compared to PMG specimens. When polished, the metal can reveal internal structure, though the overall appearance may be more varied due to their distinct formation history. Each specimen displays its own natural pattern of crystal and metal distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStudying PES Pallasites provides valuable insight into alternative pathways of planetary differentiation and the formation of core-mantle boundary material. Their unique chemistry helps scientists understand how different parent bodies evolved under varying conditions. For collectors, PES Pallasites are especially desirable due to their rarity and distinction from the Main Group. Each specimen represents a less common and scientifically important variation of one of the most iconic meteorite types.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Collection_Place_Holder_ed0aada4-85f0-463d-bf5d-0dea4923998a.jpg?v=1779473409","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/pallasites-pes-eagle-station-group.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
