LIBYAN DESERT GLASS
Libyan Desert, Eqypt
Large chunks of natural glass were first
found in the remote desert of Egypt in 1932.
Evidence indicates that the glass was formed
by a high velocity impact of a large body over
28 million years ago. Lack of included mater-
ial and some unusual properties of the glass
leave many questions on the origin of this glass unanswered.
Specimen size: approx. 4 cm X 3.1 cm X 2.3 cm Weight: 28 grams

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

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.

CHINGA ATAXITE

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

CHINGA ATAXITE
Tanna Tuva, Turvinskaya, Russia

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

history since.
Specimen size: approx. 2.1 cm X 1 cm X .9 cm Weight: 3.5 grams

Wiluna District, Western Australia
A sample of Millbillillie showing the black
fusion crust and orange clay coating charach-
teristic of Millbillillie eucrites. A network of
veins is also seen in this specimen, one of the
features found in Millbillillies that indicate a
complex origin for these meteorites.
Specimen size: approx. 4.8 cm X 3.3 cm X 3.1 cm Weight: 151 grams
