Mundrabilla, Iron meteorite in Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia.

The Mundrabilla meteorite consists of two main fragments weighing 12.4 and 5.44 tonnes, located 180 meters apart in clayey soil.

Initial fragments were discovered by Harry Kent in 1911 during the Western Australian survey, with major masses found by geologists in 1966.

The Western Australian Museum maintains the largest fragment, making it accessible for scientific research and public education.

The meteorite contains 65-75% iron-nickel composition with substantial amounts of troilite, graphite, schreibersite, and various silicates.

Scientists detected traces of low-temperature superconductivity in the main mass, indicating potential applications for naturally occurring superconductors.
