The rock contains carbonates and hydrous minerals, formed by chemical reactions in water. Also, the rock was exposed to water after it formed, which caused secondary accumulations of minerals. The legend says that a dog was killed (vaporised) by one of the stones but there are no proof of that. Total known weight of the Nakhla meteorite is 10kg.
