Abstract— The Allan Hills mesosiderites A77219, A81059 and A81098 are classified as subgroup 1B (Hewins, 1984), on the basis of very fine‐grained silicate matrix, low plagioclase content and absence of highly ferroan pyroxenes. Since they are so similar petrologically, it is reasonable to pair them....
