This Museum had the largest and most uniquely composed meteorite that I have ever laid my eyes on. The "Tucson Meteorite" looks like a new penny. Its metallic contents are:
88.3% Iron
9.6% Nickel
0.9% Silicon
0.4% Cobalt
Trace amounts of Chromium, phosphorous, and copper.
It was discovered in 1880's and used as an anvil by blacksmiths.
