The metallographic structure of the iron meteorites Arltunga, Kopjes ,Vlei, Murnpeowie, Braunau, and Rancho de la Pila
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Summary
From a metallographic examination it is suggested that Rancho de la Pila is a shock-hardened octahedrite; Murnpeowie is a cosmically reheated meteorite of unusual composition; Kopjes Vlei may have been produced by the reheating of a shock-hardened hexahedrite either cosmically or on earth; Braunau shows signs of preterrestrial reheating but Arltunga is a nickel-rich ataxite with no signs of metabolic alteration.
