Zagami, Martian meteorite in Katsina State, Nigeria.
The Zagami meteorite contains basaltic rock formations with minerals including olivine, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase, weighing approximately 18.2 kilograms.
The meteorite landed near a farmer in October 1962, creating a hole about 2 feet deep at coordinates 11°44′N latitude and 7°5′E longitude.
Scientific institutions across the globe maintain portions of this meteorite for research, including the Natural History Museum in London.
The meteorite remains among the most obtainable specimens of Martian origin for collectors and researchers studying planetary formation.
