The first found of Seymchan meteorite was made by geologist F.A. Mednikov in 1967 during a survey. While providing reconnaissance traverse next to one of the right flowings of Hekandya river he noticed shiny stone out-of-shape. The mass of iron sample was about 300kg. It was lying in the brook bed and being impacted by watercourse, sand and cobble. F.A. Mednikov reported about his found to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and sent later 5g sample to establish its meteorite origin. In October 1967 two participants of Sikhote Alin meteorite expedition in Primorye, V.I. Zvetkov and I.N. Markov, visited this place as well and observed khor with metal finder. As a result they got one more iron specimen, just 20m near to the previous found. The mass of the new one was 51kg, it was sent to geological museum of North Eastern Geological Institute. The first specimen was forwarded to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and its precise mass made out 272,3 kg.
Both samples were discovered: the main mass consists of nickel-iron, and namely of camasite, taenite and plessite (compound of camasite and taenite). It can include schreibersite, rhabdite and troilite too. The samples had equal structure, and due to elemental composition the meteorite was classified as coarse octahedrite IIE-Om.
New expedition took place only in August 2004. The geologists from the RAS Meteorite Research Committee observed khor with modern metal finders and found hundreds of Seymchan meteorite samples, some of them weighted more than ton. It was impossible to take away all of them right now because of expedition size, but geologists picked approximately 10kg of meteorites and handed over to Vernadsky institute meteoritics laboratory.
Some samples were sawn up for the following research, and scientists found large olivine crystals (forsterite) and chromite inside, that was new to them. Though IIE-Om class meteorites usually contain silicate conclusions, the specimens found in 1967 didn’t have them. In fact Seymchan meteorites found in 2004 contain many volume percents of such conclusions. They belong stony-iron meteorites – pallasites.
Therefore Seymchan meteorite is rare type, which can be only iron or only pallasite, or in different proportions.
It is the most uncommon meteorite found on planet earth, and its structure beauty can be compared with beauty and mystique of universe.
