The world of meteorites is an exceptional world, and we already introduced you to some of its
secrets in the Origins section as well as in our Meteorite Charts. However, a meteorite causing any kind of physical damage to people, animals, cars, and buildings, usually receives more public attention than a desert find proving to be a genuine lunar or Martian rock. The Nakhla meteorite that fell in Egypt in 1911, caused more attention by the story having allegedly killed a dog, than by the subsequent realization that it actually represents a rare rock of our red neighbor, the planet Mars. |
