This iron artifact's extraterrestrial origin was determined by its peculiar element makeup.
The researchers investigated the chemical composition using electron microscopy pictures, X-rays, and high-energy radiation analyses.
Back then, iron meteorites were supposed to have crash landed in large numbers on Earth. This is due to the ability of certain meteorites to endure atmospheric entry. “Mörigen is located just 4–8 km southwest of the large Twannberg iron meteorite strewn field with more than 2000 individual finds totaling ∼150 kg,” mentioned the study.
Further, a careful examination revealed that the arrowhead was forged from a space rock called IAB meteorite. This IAB meteorite, dubbed Kaalijarv, crashed in Estonia.
