Writeup from MB 107:
Nova 023 (unknown) Purchased: 2014 Classification: Iron meteorite (IAB-MG) History: Purportedly found on a beach, 7 km NNE of Sorso, Sardinia, Italy. Reported to NMBE by the finder on 22 Nov 2012. Sample presented to UCLA by B. Hofmann in 2014. Physical characteristics: The surface of the specimen is mostly metal with little rust, with remnants of an earlier rust, so likely the specimen has been cleaned. However the finder reported that he did not clean the sample. Geochemistry: (J.T. Wasson, UCLA): INAA data, Ni = 64.7, Co = 4.64 (both mg/g), Ga = 89.1, As = 10.9, W = 1.29, Ir = 3.47, Au = 1.419 (all µg/g). Classification: Iron, IAB main group. Probably paired with Campo del Cielo. Specimens: Type specimen (22 g) and main mass at NMBE. INAA sample (2g ) at UCLA. | ||||||||||||||||||
