Fields Explanation edit
Only bold fiels are mandatory.
- Name: official name of the meteorite without any abbreviation. For any doubt take a look here [1] because [2]. For example: Willamette and not Willamette Meteorite or Sayh al Uhaymir 001 and not SAU 001.
- Image: image name (eg. Willamette Meteorite AMNH.jpg), this is the default image
- Image_caption: description of image. If left empty will be filled with the meteorite name.
- Image_width: with portrait images sometimes is useful to reduce the size
- Type: Iron, Stony-Iron, Chondrite or Achondrite
- Class: choose from this list (see Meteorite classification)
- Group: the recommended classification group, take a look here [3]. (Examples: H3, L6, LL4, Shergottite, Eucrite, Lunar Basalt, Eagle Station Pallasite, IAB, IIIAB, IVB, etc.)
- Structural_classification: only for irons and, if applicable, stony-irons (eg. Coarsest Octahedrite or Ataxite)
- Composition: chemical (irons) or mineral (stony) composition (eg. 93% Fe, 5.9% Ni, 0.42% Co, 0.46% P)
- Shock: for example S4
- Weathering: for example W1
- Country: for example United States or Sweden
- Region: for example Oregon or Uppsala
- Lat_Long: coordinates using this format {{coord|46|09|N|134|39|E|display=inline,title}}
- Observed_fall: Yes or No
- Fall_date: date of the observed fall (eg. 12 February 1947) or estimated date (eg. 20000 years ago)
- Found_date: date of found
- TKW: Total Known Weight, eg. 300Kg
- Image2: a second image showing additional details (eg. chondrules or Widmanstätten pattern, see for example Gibeon (meteorite))
- Image2_caption: short description of the second image (eg. Widmanstätten pattern)
