These rocks are located on the second floor of the museum in the hall of Air and Space. Two large samples, the left one is about 1.5 feet tall and the right one is about 10 inches across. The one on the left is an iron meteorite known as octahedrite which is pretty common. The one on the right is a stony-iron meteorite, which is very rare.
