The SHRAPNEL meteorites from this fall were created when the main mass exploded violently about 4 miles before impacting the Earth. These fragments have jagged edges.
Whole or INDIVIDUAL meteorites were each independent objects before traveling through our atmosphere. Along their fiery journey they form Regmaglypts or "Thumbprints", "Flowlines" and "Lipping", all adding to their sculpted artistic appearance. They make great gifts and collectors pieces as they are perfect miniature versions of a classic meteorite.

When Whole or INDIVIDUAL meteorites are said
to be ORIENTED, this indicates that in addition
to being complete individual meteorites, they also
remained in a relatively stable position while burning
through our atmosphere. This is what gives them the much desired "Flowlines" along the leading edge and "Lipping" over the trailing edges.
