   MM026

   MILLBILLILLIE EUCRITE

   Wiluna District, W. Australia

   The fall was witnessed by two station

    workers in 1960 but specimens were not

    collected until 1970. This meteorite is a

    mixture of breccias and impact melts. This

    small sample shows typical black, glossy

    fusion crust and orange clay coating.

      Specimen size: approx. 3cm  X  2.2 cm  X  2.2 cm        Weight: 24 grams

   MM027

   HUCKITTA PALLASITE

   Northern Territory, Australia

   This pallasite has been weathered to the

    point where the groundmass has oxidized

    to mostly hematite and magnetite. The

    olivine has a high iron content and the

    crystals are intact. The elemental makeup

    of Huckitta meteorites is unusual.

   Specimen size: approx. 2.8 cm  X  2.6 cm  X  1.7 cm        Weight: 26 grams

   CHINGA ATAXITE

  Tanna Tuva, Turvinskaya, Russia

   A high nickel content (15.7% - 18%) has

    helped keep the meteorite intact with a thin

    rust layer despite an estimated terrestrial age

    of 2000 years.

     Specimen size: approx.  14.8 cm  X  10.5 cm  X  4.6 cm        Weight: 1097 grams

   MM029

   CHINGA ATAXITE

  Tanna Tuva, Turvinskaya, Russia

   A slice of Chinga polished to a mirror finish

   characteristic of treatment given Chinga ataxites.

   The high nickel content in Chinga ataxites

   suppresses the formation of Widmanstatten

   patterns.

      Specimen size: approx.  6.5 cm  X  4 cm  X  .4 cm        Weight: 75.5 grams

   MM030

     A 53.5 kg. remnant is displayed today in

     Ensisheim, having survived some interesting

     history since.
