Stoney Iron Meteorites:

Pallasites | Mesosiderites

Stony-irons are thought to be samples of the material between the core and mantle of complex asteroids. They are basically composed of equal parts of nickel-iron metal and stony material. They are exceptionally rare, representing only 1.5% of witnessed falls and comprise a total known weight of only 2% of the mass of all known meteorites (approximately 10 tons.)
