THE DERRICK PEAK,ANTARCTICA, IRON METEORITES
Authors:Roy S Clarke
Abstract:Sixteen iron meteorite specimens, Derrick Peak A78001 through DRPA78016, were recovered from the slopes of Derrick Peak, Antarctica, in 1978. Recovery from a relatively small area combined with their strikingly similar appearances suggest they represent a single fall. The metallographic structure of the two specimens that have been cut is dominated by regions of swathing kamacite enclosing coarse schreibersite and schreibersite-troilite inclusions. Patches of coarsest octahedrite Widmanstätten structure are interspersed. Specimens DRPA78008 and DRPA78009 have been analyzed: 6.64, 6.59 wt % Ni; 0.51, 0.46 wt % Co; 0.35, 0.34 wt % P. The specimens are coarsest octahedrites of chemical group IIB.
