11.5 gram slice.   H6

TKW 17.88 kg (4.11 + 13.77). Fall not observed. Found 15 December 1976, west of Mt. Baldr, upper Wright Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica.

 


Bernd writes:
A chondrite from the early days of Antarctic meteorite expeditions, it was found during the 1976-1977 field season. Two masses were found 700 m apart and first thought to be distinct but rare gas studies indicate they are from the same fall. My 11.5 gr slice has a bit of fusion crust on the left and shows abundant FeNi surrounded by rusty halos.
