Plessite

• abstract: Plessite is a meteorite texture consisting of a fine-grained mixture of the minerals kamacite and taenite found in the octahedrite iron meteorites. It occurs in gaps (its name is derived from the Greek "plythos" meaning "filling"according to Mindat, a mineral database and mineralogical reference website) between the larger bands of kamacite and taenite which form Widmanstätten patterns.
