A stone is said to have fallen on March 12, 1731, but the original account,does not totally with the fall of a meteorite, but rather suggests a small whirlwind. A similar phenomenon was also observed three days later at Springfield . Hambleton Location: Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England Fall/find: Find Date found: August 2005 TKW: A single mass weighing 17.6kg Classification: Stony-Iron (Pallasite-Main Group) History: A mass of 17.6 kg was found beside a forest track by Rob and Irene Elliott while hunting for meteorites, approx. 2km south of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. Physical characteristics: One individual was found. It has a highly weathered exterior with cm-sized patches of blue weathering products. No fusion crust is present. Petrography (D. Johnson and M. M. Grady, PSSRI, OU; R. Hutchison and C. Kirk, NHM, London). The meteorite is brittle and easily fragments. It contains ~ 60 vol% olivine, Fo88.3, ~25 vol% metal and ~15 vol% sulphide, irregularly distributed. Olivine ranges in size from ~10 mm in fractured, rounded grains that form mosaics in olivine-rich regions, to angular fragments <0.1 mm set in metal or sulphide where these opaques are dominant. The olivine mosaics have metal and/or sulphide veins along grain boundaries or filling fractures. Metal is largely kamacite, commonly as plessitic intergowths with taenite, which also forms thin rims with <60 wt% Ni. Sulphides are abnormally abundant for a pallasite and some regions <5 cm across are composed almost exclusively of troilite, enclosing minor fragmented olivines. Within olivine and metal, sulphides occur as veins, commonly with Ni-poor centres and Ni-rich rims. Chromite and schreibersite are accessory phases. The outer 1 cm of the mass is terrestrially weathered, with veins of Fe oxides and patches of a blue phosphate mineral. Geochemistry Oxygen isotopic ratios (I. A. Franchi, PSSRI, OU) d17O = +1.383, d18O = +3.029, D17O = -0.187 are typical of a main group pallasite. We hope to have the metal composition data by end of April.. Classification: Main Group Pallasite. Specimens: Main mass with Rob Elliott, Fernlea Meteorites.A 1 kg sample, 3 slices and 1 thin section, are on deposit at PSSRI, OU.

Other constituents are chondrules and silicate fragments, one CAI had been observed. Analysis 69.6 wt% Fe, 2.48 ppm Ir, 0.14ppm Au,4.42 wt% Mg, 4.67ppm Sc. Hammadah al Hamra 317 .....................11°35.58' N, 29°21.06' E Libya Found 2001 spring Enstatite chondrite (EL4) Two dark brown stones, a larger one of 103 g and a smaller one of 2 g were found in the Hammadah al Hamra region. Classification and mineralogy (G. Pratesi, V. Moggi Cecchi, MSP): the partly fusioncrusted stone is shield-shaped; well defined chondrules and 50 m sized enstatite crystals indicate petrologic type 4. Major phases are enstatite (En98.54Wo0.85), kamacite (Fe = 90.46, Ni = 7.51, Si = 0.57, P = 0.53, Co = 0.47 Wt. %) and troilite; other minor phases are diopside (En52.91Wo46.85) and plagioclase (An26.60) in very small grains (<5 m). Neither niningerite nor alabandite was found. The plagioclase composition, as well as the presence of diopside, is unusual compared with other known EL chondrites. Inside the chondrules, whose average size ranges from 600 to 1200 m, very small rounded grains containing a calcium chloride phase (1-3 m size) have been observed. Based on texture, mineralogy and chemistry (mainly An content of plagioclase > 13 mol% and Si content of kamacite <1.9 wt. %; Keil, 1968; Zhang et al., 1995) the meteorite is classified as an EL4 chondrite. Terrestrial weathering grade is rather low (W1); optical features (undulatory extinction of enstatite) indicate that the sample is weakly shocked (S3).
