TWO NEW IRON METEORITES FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA |
|
| Authors: | JR De Laeter |
| Abstract: | Two new iron meteorites from Western Australia are described: Cosmo Newberry — a 2.156 kg meteorite of unusual spiky shape, and Gnowangerup — a 33.6 kg pear-shaped meteorite. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry shows that Cosmo Newberry can be classified in Group IIA, whilst Gnowangerup is a member of Group IIIAB. Neither iron can be associated with any other Western Australian meteorite. |
