The stone is an ordinary chondrite belonging to the high iron group H, type 4. Electron microprobe analyses of olivine (Fa18.1) and pyroxene (Fs16.5), phosphate, plagioclase, opaque phases, matrix and chondrule glasses are presented. The metal phases present are kamacite (6.08 % Ni), taenite (31.66 % Ni), high nickel taenite (50.01 % Ni) and traces of native Cu. The chondrules average apparent diameter measures 0.62 mm. X-ray diffraction pattern shows olivine, pyroxene and kamacite. Alkaline-type glass is found mainly in chondrules. This meteorite is a stage S3, shock-blackened chondrite with weathering grade W0.

Unlike the case of pallasites, the co-occurrence of met- al and silicates (predominantly orthopyroxene and cal- cic plagioclase) in mesosiderites is inconsistent with a single-stage “igneous” history, and instead seems to demand admixture of at least two separate compo- nents. Here we review the models in light of detailed ex- amination of multiple specimens from a very large mesosiderite strewnfield in Northwest Africa. Many specimens (totaling at least 80 kilograms) from this area (probably in Algeria) have been classified sepa- rately by us and others; however, in most cases the Figure 1.

Among the various physical properties of chondrules, chondrule size is especially important for the classification of chondrites into chemical groups, since each chemical group possesses a distinct size-frequency distribution of chondrules. Knowledge of the physical properties of chondrules is also vital for the development of astrophysical models for chondrule formation, and for understanding how to utilize asteroidal resources in space exploration. To examine our current knowledge of chondrule sizes, we have compiled and provide commentary on available chondrule dimension literature data.

    Australian Aborigines and Meteorites

    Records of the Western Australian Museum 18: 93-101 (1996). Australian Aborigines and meteorites A.W.R. Bevan! and P. Bindon2 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2 Department of Anthropology, Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 Abstract - Numerous mythological references to meteoritic events by Aboriginal people in Australia contrast with the scant physical evidence of their interaction with meteoritic materials. Possible reasons for this are the unsuitability of some meteorites for tool making and the apparent inability of early Aborigines to work metallic materials. However, there is a strong possibility that Aborigines witnessed one or more of the several recent « 5000 yrs BP) meteorite impact events in Australia. Evidence for Aboriginal use of meteorites and the recognition of meteoritic events is critically evaluated.

    Petrogenesis of Acapulcoites and Lodranites: a Shock-Melting Model

    Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 71 (2007) 2383–2401 www.elsevier.com/locate/gca Petrogenesis of acapulcoites and lodranites: A shock-melting model Alan E. Rubin * Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1567, USA Received 31 May 2006; accepted in revised form 20 February 2007; available online 23 February 2007 Abstract Acapulcoites are modeled as having formed by shock melting CR-like carbonaceous chondrite precursors; the degree of melting of some acapulcoites was low enough to allow the preservation of 3–6 vol % relict chondrules. Shock effects in aca- pulcoites include veins of metallic Fe–Ni and troilite, polycrystalline kamacite, fine-grained metal–troilite assemblages, metal- lic Cu, and irregularly shaped troilite grains within metallic Fe–Ni. While at elevated temperatures, acapulcoites experienced appreciable reduction. Because graphite is present in some acapulcoites and lodranites, it seems likely that carbon was the principal reducing agent. Reduction is responsible for the low contents of olivine Fa (4–14 mol %) and low-Ca pyroxene Fs (3–13 mol %) in the acapulcoites, the observation that, in more than two-thirds of the acapulcoites, the Fa value is lower than the Fs value (in contrast to the case for equilibrated ordinary chondrites), the low FeO/MnO ratios in acapulcoite olivine (16–18, compared to 32–38 in equilibrated H chondrites), the relatively high modal orthopyroxene/olivine ratios (e.g., 1.7 in Monument Draw compared to 0.74 in H chondrites), and reverse zoning in some mafic silicate grains. Lodranites formed in a similar manner to acapulcoites but suffered more extensive heating, loss of plagioclase, and loss of an Fe–Ni–S melt.
