Zusammenfassung

Meteorite sind Bruchstücke extraterrestrischer Körper, die den Flug durch die Erdatmosphäre überleben und auf der Erdoberfläche aufschlagen. Die meisten Meteorite unterscheiden sich in ihrem Gefüge von irdischen Gesteinen. Wichtige Meteoriten-Minerale kommen auch auf der Erde häufig vor, andere dagegen sind hier unbekannt. Bisher wurden in Meteoriten keine chemischen Elemente nachgewiesen, die es nicht auch auf der Erde gibt. Allerdings weisen Meteorite oft höhere Gehalte an Nickel sowie an den Platinmetallen Ir, Os und Rh auf und führen neben oxidiertem Eisen, das insbesondere in den Silikat-Mineralen gebunden ist, metallisches Eisen in Form von Fe-Ni-Legierungen.
