The three main types of meteorites – irons, stones, and stony-irons. The core of our planet is a sphere of molten iron with a temperature in excess of 7,000°F. Iron meteorites usually obtain small oval shape on their surfaces known as regmaglypts. They are very dense – much heavier than almost all terrestrial rocks – and will easily follow to a strong magnet. Iron meteorites also contain a relatively high percentage of nickel, a metal very rarely found on Earth, and they display a unique feature that is never seen in terrestrial material.
