Abstract–In this edition of The Meteoritical Bulletin, 1394 recognized meteorites are reported,27 from specific locations within Africa, 133 from Northwest Africa, 1227 from Antarctica (fromANSMET, PNRA, and PRIC expeditions), and 7 from Asia. The Meteoritical Bulletin announcesthe approval of four new names series by the Nomenclature Committee of the MeteoriticalSociety, two from Africa and one from Asia, including Al Haggounia, from Al Haggounia,Morocco, which is projected to be on the order of 3 metric tons of material related to enstatitechondrites and aubrites. Approved are two falls from Africa, Bassikounou (Mauritania) andGashua (Nigeria). Approved from areas other than Antarctica are one lunar, two Martian, 32other achondrites, three mesosiderites, two pallasites, one CM, two CK, one CR2, two CV3, oneCR2, and four R chondrites. The Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society announces48 newly approved relict meteorites from two new name series, Österplana and Gullhögen (bothfrom Sweden).

Bassikounou 15°47′N, 5°54′WBassikounou, Hodh Ech Chargui, MauritaniaFall: 16 October 2006, 04:00 UTCOrdinary chondrite (H5)

History: A fireball was witnessed in the area, but no recordsof the direction of movement were recorded. A single stone of3165 g was found by A. Salem El Moichine, a local resident,on the same day at 13:00 h local time, 11 km SE ofBassikounou. The sample for classification was provided toNMBE by M. Ould Mounir, Nouakchott, who obtained itfrom his cousin who recovered the meteorite. According toS. Buhl (Hamburg, Germany), more than 20 specimens werelater recovered by locals and meteorite finders. These findsdefine an 8 km long strewn field. The total recovered mass is46.00 kg. Physical characteristics: The 3165 g specimen is largelycovered by black fusion crust. The interior is light gray. Onthe surface of the fusion crust there is some adherent soilmaterial, some of which is bright red. Shortly after recovery,the stone was cut into two pieces of 1200 and 1950 g. Thelarger piece has a rectangular shape and shows indications offlow lines in the fusion crust.Petrography: (E. Gnos, MHNGE; B. Hofmann, NMBE,M. Eggimann, Bern/NMBE): Mean chondrule size0.35 mm (n = 53). Metal abundance is 8 vol%, troilite6.6 vol%. Mean plagioclase grain size is ~20 μm. Troiliteis polycrystalline, rich in silicate inclusions, and showsdiffuse boundaries to metal. Metal is partly rich insilicate and troilite inclusions. Rare metallic Cu (10 μm)occurs at kamacite-taenite boundaries and in troilite.Some shock veins and no weathering products wereobserved.Mineral compositions: Olivine (Fa18.6), pyroxene (Fs16.3Wo1.1), and plagioclase (An13.7).Cosmogenic radionuclides: (P. Weber, PPGUN) Gamma-spectroscopy performed in December 2006 and January 2007showed the presence of the following radionuclides: 48V, 46Sc,56Co, 54Mn, 58Co, 7Be, 51Cr, 57Co, 22Na, 26Al, and 60Co.Recalculated to 12 October 2006 22Na was 38.0 ± 2.2 and26Al 31.5 ± 2.1 (both dpm/kg), the activity ratio of 1.21 isfully consistent with a fall on that date.Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H5); S2, W0.Type specimens: A total of 115 g are on deposit at NMBE.Boudreaux holds the main mass.

Northwest Africa 3340Algeria or MoroccoFind: April 2006Carbonaceous chondrite (CM2, anomalous)

History: Purchased by F. Kuntz in April 2006 in Erfoud,Morocco, and subsequently acquired for the DuPontCollection at PSF.Physical characteristics: Two pieces from a very fresh,broken, black, porous stone (total weight 12.7 g) with shinyfusion crust on one side.Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS; T. Bunch,NAU) Sparse mineral grains, carbon-rich objects, dust-armored chondrules and rare refractory inclusion occur in aheterogeneous, very fine grained, porous matrix composedmainly of bladed phyllosilicates with some pentlandite andcalcite (clearly visible under incident UV light). Olivinegrains (up to 2 mm across) are commonly armored by fine,polycrystalline “dust” and contain inclusions of Ni-richtroilite, chromite, millerite, kamacite and taenite. Bothpentlandite and magnesian olivine occur as separate smaller,angular grains. The carbon-rich objects (up to 50 μm across)consist of either pure graphite or a chlorine-rich organicphase. Chondrules consist of PO and POP olivine, manyhaving a fine-grained polycrystalline “dust” rims. One smallrefractory inclusion is composed of Mg-Al spinel withinclusions of perovskite. Mineral compositions and geochemistry: Larger zonedolivine grains (e.g., Fa17.9-33.9, Fa39.9–66); smallerhomogeneous olivine grains (e.g. Fa1.5, Fa19.9); pentlandite(Ni = 26.2 wt%). Matrix phyllosilicate material could not beanalyzed quantitatively, but has very consistent proportions ofMg, Fe, Si and S. The chlorine-rich organic phase contains~17 wt% Cl and ~32 wt% C, but no detectable N and minorO. Oxygen isotopes: (D. Rumble, CIW) Replicate analyses bylaser fluorination gave, respectively, δ18O = 0.494, 1.166;δ17O = 6.224, 7.049; Δ17O = −2.780, −2.542 (all ‰).Classification: Carbonaceous chondrite (CM2, anomalous);minimal weathering.

Richland (Fredericksburg)A 47 kg iron meteorite was reportedly found nearFredericksburg, Texas. Chemical analysis (Wasson et al.2007) showed that it is indistinguishable from Richland, a13.6 kg IIAB iron that was found ~300 km away. It is likelythat these meteorites are paired and that one (or both) masseswere transported by humans from their original find locations.Henceforth, the name Fredericksburg shall be an unofficial

synonym for Richland. The new mass may be referred to as“Richland (Fredericksburg).” A total of 213 g is on deposit atUCLA.

ANTARCTICA

ANSMET

Meteorites collected by Antarctic Search for Meteorites(ANSMET) teams and their collaborators between 1976 and1981 officially have the letter A before their number, e.g.,Allan Hills A77307, abbreviated ALHA77307. However,the use of this letter A is henceforth to be consideredoptional. Thus, Allan Hills 77307, abbreviated ALH 77307,is equally correct and equivalent to the official name andabbreviation.

The Nomenclature Committee has recognized the newcategory of relict meteorites. From the Guidelines forMeteorite Nomenclature, http://www.meteoriticalsociety.org/bulletin/nc-guidelines.htm#s77, a relict meteorite is definedin such a fashion that special provisions are made for highlyaltered materials that may have a meteoritic origin,designated relict meteorites, which are dominantly (>95%)composed of secondary minerals formed on the body onwhich the object was found. Examples of such material mayinclude some types of “meteorite shale,” “fossil meteorites,”and fusion crust (as defined in section 1.2 of the guidelines).

Fig. 2. An image of Österplana 002.


The naming of relict meteorites is defined in section 7.7 of theguidelines. A special type of name should be assigned to relictmeteorites. The documentation required for these names mustinclude a description of the material, the location and date ofthe find, the approximate mass or size, the location of themain mass, and the type of meteoritic material it is suspectedto represent. The name must conform to all applicable parts ofsections 2–6 of the guidelines, and must be approved by theNomenclature Committee prior to publication. Relictmeteorite names may be converted to formal meteorite namesby a second vote of the committee, subject to the requirementsof section 7.1 of the guidelines.

Reported in Table 7 are two new name series, Österplana andGullhögen. Both are relict of ordinary chondrites recoveredfrom strata of Ordovician age.

In Table 7, NWA 775 is listed with a mass of 1440 g and the

main mass as located at the SWML. The correct mass is3280 g and Tobin holds the main mass.

In Table 7, NWA 2738 and 2739 are reported as beingclassified by Ted Bunch with the type specimen at NAU. Itshould read that V. Moggi-Cecchi and G. Pratesi of MSP asclassifiers with the type specimen at MSP.


In Table 2, NWA 2457 is classified as an impact melt clast butit should be listed as an impact melt breccia. Furthermore, thefollow additions to NWA samples should be printed withinthe comment column of Table 2: NWA 3347: breccia; NWA3349: shock veins; NWA 3351: breccia, impact-shock brecciaclasts; NWA 3352: calcite veins; NWA 3353: shock veins,ringwoodite, partly S6; NWA 3355: calcite vein; NWA 3356:shock veins; NWA 3357: shock veins, breccia, shockdarkening; NWA 3359: An79±6, shock veins, breccia,polymict, impact-melt clasts, impact melt breccia clasts;NWA 3360: breccia, impact-melt clasts; NWA 3361: shockveins, breccia, impact melt breccia clasts; NWA 3362: shockveins, breccia, shock darkening; NWA 3363: shock veins,breccia, shock darkening; NWA 3364: breccia; NWA 3365:shock veins, breccia; NWA 3367: breccia, shock veins.

In Table 5, Dhofar 1301 is printed on June 15, 2006; however,this sample was shown to be the same as Dhofar 1286. Dhofar1301 is thus not a valid name and is not official.

In Table 6, Minas Gerais b is incorrectly listed. It should belisted as Minas Gerais (b).


In Table 1, Tanezrouft 88 and 89 should be 088 and 089.

In Table 2, NWA 969 is listed as an LL7. It should be LL6/7.

In Table 2, NWA 2748 is listed as L 3.4. It should be listed asLL 3.4.

In Table 2, NWA 2954 is listed as having a 145 g. This shouldbe 1246 g. The main mass is listed as being held by Reed;however, Martinez holds the main mass.

In Table 3, Santa Vitoria do Palmar is incorrectly spelled asSanta Vitorio do Palmar. It is also listed with a mass of5910.0 g but this should be 50,360 g. The correct coordinatesof recovery, both in the write-up and in Table 3, are33°30′34′′S, 53°24′39′′W.
