There are a few other details you might have noticed…a few have started to oxidize (3rd, 6th images). As you can see, they range from ~light grey to black inside. Most of the broken stones fragmented in the atmosphere or when they landed on a hard surface. The above album contains freshly-fallen meteorites. The last molten material on the rock’s surface cools and solidifies on the outside of the meteorite, forming a “ fusion crust.” This layer is usually fairly smooth, but is not the polished texture of a water-worn pebble. As the fragments are slowed down by the atmosphere, their surfaces begin to cool. If any rocks do survive the passage, they almost always bear some scars. The body is usually broken up by extreme ram pressures, and the fragments begin to ablate as well. The outside of the meteorite vaporizes, and a thin molten layer forms on the outside of the rock. This causes intense heat and pressure to act on the surface of the rock. For comparison, the Space Shuttle used to enter the upper atmosphere at ~8 kilometers per second. Usually ~ 20 to 40 kilometers per second. When meteorites enter the atmosphere, they’re moving really quickly. But there are a few things you can look for. There are many different types of meteorites, and an even wider variety of rocks from Earth.

Maybe someone has approached you with a rock they think is a meteorite, hoping to sell it. While not as effective as a Sharpened Stick, they can still be useful.Maybe you’ve just found a strange rock, or maybe you’ve had one laying around for years. Meteorites can also be used as blunt weapons. It takes the same amount of hits to create rock tools as any other rock like a Granite Rock or a Precious Stone. The Meteorite is on par with other blunt tools for altering items.

Induce mutations in a full generation of six babies using a meteorite site.Through carefully managing when you discover meteorite sites, it is possible to induce the maximum amount of genetic mutations possible. Only babies that were present upon the inspection of a meteorite site will acquire mutations and you can't go back later with additional babies having already inspected the site. It should be noted that babies can only acquire mutations once per meteorite site upon discovery. The next time you use the Drop Child action at a Sleep Spot, any babies present when you inspected the meteorite site will gain a random mutation.Travel to and inspect an undiscovered meteorite site.Piggyback any babies you want to acquire mutations on you or following clan members' backs.Trigger meteorites to fall from the sky through in game events related to location discoveries.There is a specific set of actions that is required to get these mutations to appear. Meteorite sites also induce random genetic mutations in babies that don't already have a mutation. You will complete one Being One With The Universe Evolution Feat.You gain one extra reinforcement point per baby present.You don't need to pick up the meteorite to gain the benefits, you merely examine the site and the following benefits will take place: When you discover each meteorite site, multiple one-time benefits will take place. The Meteorite can be picked up from the small crater it creates when it lands. Savanna's Boulders Enclave's meteorite site There are twelve named locations that are meteorite sites. Meteorites can only be found at meteorite sites scattered across the map. The meteorite is a small piece of iron that falls from the sky when you trigger the event by discovering specific locations in the game.
