Hello list,
Ordinary chondrites generally contain around 2% troilite (iron sulfide,
FeS); the thin section made of the Carancas meteorite shows even more,
around 5%. Troilite dissociates at high temperatures (e.g. a hypersonic
impact), releasing hot sulfur vapor, which in turn will oxidize in
Regarding the reports you mentioned about historic falls, I
wouldn't take
the assertions there to seriously. As we all know, meteorites fall
cold, but
nevertheless the old reports tells the stone was to hot to tuch, it
