Dalgety Downs, an olivine-hypersthene chondrite, fell to Earth a long time ago. We know this because the
exterior is highly weathered. However, the light grey interior exhibits a
wealth of chondrules and metal flake.
In 1941, a mass, broken into fragments
totaling 214 kilograms, was recovered about six miles south of Dalgety
Downs. In 1963 further masses to a total weight of 1.8 kilograms were found
by B. Mason and E.P. Henderson. A mass of 1.8 kilograms said to have come
from Ashburton Downs is part of the same fall. Another recovery of numerous
fragments of about 40.9 kilograms was made in 1964 by W.H. Cleverly. These
are now in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia School of Mines. |
