Adzhi-Bogdo (stone) is a partly unequilibrated LL3-6 chondrite, S2, polymict breccia.
From Metbase 7.2 (2005):
A mass of 910g was found, and several more pieces later; the locality was first given as Khobdo, 48°0'N, 91°43'E, L.G.Kvasha, Meteoritika, 1954, 11, p.81; 1956, 14, p.14, and later corrected, G.G.Vorobyev and O.Namnandorzh, Meteoritika, 1958, 16, p.134, M.H.Hey, Cat. Met., 1966, p.7. Classification, Met. Bull. 74, Meteoritics, 1993, 28, p.147.
The corrected coordinates (Hey 1966) are 44°50’N, 95°10’E, which is approx. 440 km apart from the first given coordinates 48°0'N, 91°43'E …

Received as a gift from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences in autumn 1996 after my long-time friend Sergey Vassiliev and I took a geology scientist and his son plus two drivers on a two-week trip through Mongolia (south direction from Ulaanbaatar and back) at our expense. Driving through the country without an invitation and without a hired driver was not possible in 1996. The idea of this two-week trip was to find meteorites, but we did not succeed at that time. Anyway, the trip through Mongolia was fun and we had great experiences. |
