Name: Meteorite Hills 001038 This is an OFFICIAL meteorite name. Abbreviation: MET 001038 Observed fall: No Year found: 2000 Country: Antarctica [Collected by US Antarctic Search for Meteorites program (ANSMET)] Mass: 3.69 g
Macroscopic Description: Kathleen McBride The exterior of this iron is covered completely with smooth brown/black fusion crust with oxidation visible.
Thin Section Description: Tim McCoy This meteorite is undoubtedly paired with the ungrouped iron MET 00428. Like MET 00428, it exhibits ~10-20 vol.% of rounded to elongate sulfide inclusions in a matrix of metal. This texture is uncommon in iron meteorites, but is known from at least one member of group IIE (e.g., Mont Dieu). This is probably an ungrouped iron, but may be a member of group IIE.
