Total weigh is 46.78 kg.Petrography: The polished and etched section (150 cm2) reveals coarse kamacite plates, ranging from 6 to 12 mm (8.18±2.52 mm, n=11), with sets of parallel Neumann lines and intergrowths of rhabdite needles. Patches of recrystallized kamacite are sparsely distributed on the surface, and particularly concentrated around a large troilite-graphite inclusions. Three large (15 ? 25, 20 ? 10, 12 ? 15 mm) and some small knobby troilite nodules with swathing 1-3 mm schreibersite are present. Schreibersite occurs as scattered, cuneiform, skeletal crystals 0.3-2 mm in size, with 20-100 µm wide, discontinuous grain-boundary veinlets.Geochemistry: Mineral compositions and geochemistry: (N.

Kononkova, Vernad, EMP) kamacite: Ni =7.40±0.07 (N=4), Co = 0.53±0.05 (N=4), P = 0.23±0.02(N=4); taenite: Ni = 29.9±3.15 (N=8) (all in wt%); schreibersite: Ni =37.3±0.68 (N=4), P = 14.5±0.29(N=4); rabdite: Ni =47.0±1.61 (N=4), P = 13.8±0.65(N=4); (J.T.
