GYARUB ZANGBO PALLASITE SPECIMENS

The Gyarub Zangbo pallasite meteorite was discovered in 2020 by Mr. G. Tulga while exploring the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Qiangtang uninhabited area, NE of Gyarub Zangbo. Many disaggregated fragments composed of olivine and metal (kamecite and taenite) were found, as well as a much larger single metal-rich specimen nearby. Just over 17.6kg of this meteorite were recovered.

These meteorites are composed of dark brown olivine and metal in variable proportions from specimen to specimen.
