Note: The official spelling of this meteorite seems to be incorrect - see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nentmannsdorf. The latter also says that the meteorite was found in the vicinity of Nentmannsdorf, indicating that the coordinates in the MetBull database, 50° 58'N, 13° 57'E (near Pirna), are wrong. Therefore, they were adjusted (March 2022), albeit being only approximate, of course.
Iron, Octahedrite (IIAB, Ogg)
Find 1872, 12.5 kg
An iron-rich mass was found ~25 cm below the ground. Classified as a IIAB iron, the somewhat weathered meteorite is dominated by kamacite, but traces of a Widmanstätten pattern still remain. Features due to preterrestrial shocks and subsequent annealing have also been identified. Schreibersite is found along grain boundaries; troilite is found in scattered nodules. Minute carlsbergite and small relic cohenite grains are also present. A cosmic ray exposure age of 140±30 Ma has been cited.
Nenntmannsdorf's mass is very close to the IIAB median (10.2 kg). The 124 recovered IIAB irons constitute 12% of classified iron meteorites. The main mass (11.5 kg) now resides at the Mineral Museum in Dresden.
Synonyms and Spelling: Pirna, the nearby town, has been listed as, apparently, Nenntmannsdorf's only recognized synonym for over a century. However, in some German geographical references both 'Nenntmannsdorf' and 'Nentmannsdorf' apparently refer to the same village.
