Aliskerovo (Russian: Алискерово) is an inhabited locality (an urban-type settlement) in Bilibinsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia.
[9] The settlement was founded in 1961[3] and named after Soviet geologist Aziz Aliskerov [ru], who played a significant role in the discovery and mapping of natural resources in this part of Russia.
[4] The Russian government guaranteed funds to transport non-working pensioners and the unemployed in liquidated settlements including Aliskerovo from Chukotka to other parts of Russia.
[10] It weighed 58.4 kilograms (129 lb) and was classified by the Natural History Museum as a medium Octahedrite,[11] containing (mineral composition determined by X-ray spectral microanalysis): 9.25% nickel, 0.42% cobalt, and 0.30% phosphorus.
[12] Some of its structural features testify to repeated metamorphic influences (impact loads and heating), which occurred during both its extraterrestrial existence and its passage through the atmosphere and fall to Earth[12] including: exhibiting striated kamacite, emulsion-like taenite, and the recrystallization of troilite-daubréelite nodules.
