| Abstract/Notes | SummaryThe Molteno meteorite was seen to fall in South Africa in 1953. It is a howardite, with pyroxene varying from En76Fs22Wo2 to En38Fs58Wo4 and then to En33Fs26Wo41. Also present are twinned plagioclase (An 84·4%) and small quantities of olivine (Fa 12%), troilite, nickel-iron (Ni 4%), ilmenite, and an aluminian chromite with 0·71% V2O3. A bulk analysis and analyses of the metal, troilite, and combined silicates and oxides are given. |
