Two new iron meteorites from the Province of Québec,Canada

Abstract— Two iron meteorites, identified in 1994, have been recovered from the Province of Québec, Canada. Lac Dodon is a coarse octahedrite of 800 g, displaying only minor evidence of terrestrial weathering. A heat-affected zone up to 1 mm thick is fairly well preserved. Penouille is a medium octahedrite of 72.5 g that was recovered from an ocean beach. Traces of a heat-affected zone are preserved. Analyses reveal that both meteorites are members of group IAB, although Penouille is in the Ni-rich IB tail of the group.
