What meteorite is the most unusual?

The most unusual meteorite is often considered to be the "Allende" meteorite, which fell in Mexico in 1969. It is notable for containing a wealth of presolar grains, tiny particles that formed before the Solar System, providing insights into the processes of stellar nucleosynthesis. Additionally, the Allende meteorite has been extensively studied for its unique mineralogy and isotopic composition, making it a key specimen in understanding the early solar system.
