Meteorites are a diverse group of rocks.
Iron meteorites and are dominated by iron-nickel alloys. Others, called stony meteorites, contain mostly mafic silicates such as pyroxene and olivine with or wothout carbonaceous materials. Most finds are the irons, which are easily identified and somewhat resistent to weathering. Falls are about evenly divided between stony and iron meteorites. As should be expected, meteorites have been found throughout the state.
