description Seymchan Overview
Seymchan is a meteorite discovered in Magadan Oblast in northeastern Russia in 1967. The first recovered masses were dominated by iron-nickel metal, but later finds contained substantial olivine-rich regions, leading to its recognition as a pallasite with both metal-rich and crystal-rich lithologies. This variation makes different cut specimens look markedly unlike one another and provides material for studying the relationship between metallic and silicate components in differentiated asteroids.
