The Eagle Station group (abbreviated PES - Pallasite Eagle Station) is a set of pallasite meteorite specimen that do not fit into any of the other defined pallasite groups. In meteorite classification five meteorites have to be found, so they can be defined as their own group.[1] Currently only five Eagle Station type meteorites have been found, which is just enough for a separate group.[2]
