| Abstract: | A 1.5 kg iron found in 1960 at Gosnells, near Perth, Western Australia, belongs to Wasson's chemical group I-An3 and is structurally unusual, being best described as a heat-altered granular coarse octahedrite. It is chemically and structurally very similar to the Mount Dooling iron, found in 1909 about 400 km away, and has a fracture surface which fits the Mount Dooling mass very closely. The Gosnells fragment was probably transported by human agency, though it is not known when or by whom. |
