Name: Miller Range 03369 This is an OFFICIAL meteorite name. Abbreviation: MIL 03369 Observed fall: No Year found: 2003 Country: Antarctica [Collected by US Antarctic Search for Meteorites program (ANSMET)] Mass: 120 g
Macroscopic Description: Tim McCoy, Lisa Collins This lozenge-shaped meteorite has a rounded exterior peppered with 3 mm rust halos, and has a single comma shaped indentation. Most of the surface is relatively smooth, while the botom face shows a subtle relief of the Widmänstatten pattern.
Microscopic Description: Tim McCoy, Linda Welzenbach The meteorite was examined from a cut and etched surface, which bisects the long axis of the specimen. The cut surface exhibits prominent skeletal kamacite lamellae (L/W ~50) with bandwidths less than 0.2-0.5 mm set in approximately 40-50% plessite fields of both comb (~10%) and martensite (30-40%). The kamacite typically contain minute lathes of schreibersite crystals arrayed along the central long axis. The meteorite exhibits α2 structure throughout the prominent fissures in many of the kamacite lamellae. A thin fusion crust is preserved over some parts, and a heat altered zone approximately 0.5 mm thick underlies that fusion crust. The meteorite is similar to the IIIC iron Carlton, although appears to be more shock altered than Carlton.
