3439F

3439F is a rare and distinctive meteorite that was discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2006. It is classified as an iron meteorite, specifically a fine octahedrite, which means it is composed primarily of iron-nickel alloy with a crystalline structure. The meteorite is notable for its unique composition and the presence of unusual inclusions, which are small fragments of other minerals that were incorporated into the meteorite during its formation.

The meteorite was found by a team of meteorite hunters who were searching for specimens in the desert. It was subsequently acquired by a private collector and later sold to a museum. The meteorite is of scientific interest due to its unusual composition and the insights it may provide into the early solar system.

3439F is a small meteorite, with a total weight of approximately 100 grams. It is characterized by its dark, metallic appearance and the presence of inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. The meteorite is a valuable specimen for meteorite collections and is often used in scientific research to study the early solar system and the processes that led to the formation of the planets.
