What do fragments from the St-Robert meteorite look like?
Fragments from the St-Robert meteorite have a thin, black crust on the surface, and this may flake off to reveal a grey/white interior with bits of white and bronze metal. When meteorites are exposed to air and water, the crust turns brown and rust stains form around the metal in the exposed interior. The fragments may be quite rounded, angular, or have a combination of smooth and sharp surfaces. Anyone finding a meteorite should record precisely where and when they found it and keep it dry.
