Authored by Dustin Lemrick, the educational resource "Space Rocks: The Mineral Composition of Meteorites" offers a detailed introduction to the diverse mineralogy of extraterrestrial matter. This web page systematically explores the three primary classifications of meteorites—Iron, Stony-Iron, and Stony—breaking them down into their constituent minerals and unique physical characteristics, such as the olivine crystals found in the pallasite stony-iron subtype. Beyond the core content, the article serves as a comprehensive gateway to broader space science topics, providing numerous educational links for further reading on related subjects. These linked resources include specific articles like "Iron Meteorites Teach Us About the Early Solar System," "The Differences Between Asteroids, Comets, Meteors, and Meteorites," "What Is a Meteorite?," and "An Activity for Students Learning About Meteoroids, Meteors, and Meteorites," making it a valuable starting point for both students and enthusiasts to explore meteoritics and space exploration.
