Krähenberg, Meteorite museum collection at Palatinate Museum of Natural History, Germany

The Krähenberg meteorite, classified as an LL chondrite, contains mineral compositions that offer information about the formation of the solar system.

In 1869, this meteorite fell in the Sickingen Heights region of Germany, leading to extensive scientific research about its composition and origin.

The meteorite resides in the Palatinate Museum, which maintains geological specimens and provides educational programs about extraterrestrial materials.
