Omolon – a rare pallasite with an observed fall

Omolon is a rare pallasite meteorite whose fall was observed in May 1981 in today’s Magadan region of Russia, near the Omolon River. It is one of only four pallasites in the world whose fall to Earth was directly observed, making it an exceptionally valuable object for scientific study.

Composition

This meteorite belongs to the main group of pallasites, composed of olivine crystals set in an iron–nickel metal matrix. Brightly colored olivines combined with the characteristic metallic structure make Omolon a highly prized collector’s specimen.

Recovery and mass

Its recovery was significant not only because of the documented fall but also due to its unique composition. The total recovered mass is estimated at about 250 kg, with the largest piece weighing around 127 kg.
