Collection of Yamato Meteorites, Antarctica, in December 1973
In addition to 9 meteorites, designated as Yamato meteorites, discovered in December 1969 at the SE end of the Yamato Mountains, East Antarctica, 12 stoney meteorites were found in December 1973 in nearly the same area by the traverse glaciology party of the 14th Japanese Antarctic Research Expediti...
