The Widmanstätten Pattern The defining feature of every Muonionalusta specimen is its breathtaking Widmanstätten pattern -an interlocking geometric lattice of kamacite (low nickel iron alloy) and taenite (high nickel iron alloy) crystals that formed as the molten planetary core cooled at a rate of just 1–100°C per million years
