This original Meteortie Crater Study Kit is in perfect condition in its box of issue and has not been available for purchase for over 50 years. The kit contains two small iron-nickel meteorite fragments, an oxidized meteorite fragment, two impactites, metallic spheroids plus the 65 page illustrated booklet titled "A Comet Strikes the Earth". All of the specimens are fully described. Estimated Value $400 - 600
