Additional Information
Seymchan belongs to Main Group pallasites, but it is considered anomalous due to
its high iron content. Before the discovery of its pallasitic structure it had
been classified as IIE anomalous coarse octahedrite. Seymchan is
considered a stable and rust-resistant pallasite.
Due to the heterogeneous structure of Seymchan, there are two types of
specimens: with or without olivine crystals.
*Without olivine crystals
