Matthias writes:
Iron meteorite, Ataxite, found in the Siberian Tanna-Tuva-Region. First fragments found in 1913 at the riverbank of Chinga river by gold diggers.

Expressively shaped piece, fallen 10.000-20.000 years ago in East Siberia on glacier ice. Sculpted pieces like this one are rare regarding the history of glacial and fluvial transportation.
