same basic stuff, different proportions of elements. nothing that hasn't been found here already. If there was it would be called meteoritium or similar.

You tend to find relatively high quantities of Iridium.

There is also a high concentration of iridium in the worldwide K-T boundary (Between the Creatacious and Tertiary periods) which was the first evidence for the involvement of a meteor strike in the dinosaurs mass-extinction.

You do also get iridium as an imputity in platinum.
