A preliminary report on the achondrite meteorites in the 1979 U.S. Antarctic meteorite collection

Seventy-three meteorite samples were collected in Antarctica during the austral summer of 1979-80. A description is presented of the seven achondrites found among the meteorite samples. The achondrites described include an ALHA79017-polymict eucrite, an EETA79001-shergottite, an EETA79002-diogenite,...

The most exciting single aspect of the 1979 collection is undoubtedly the discovery of a new member of the shergottite group of meteorites. Sample EETA79001 is just under 8 kg and should thus provide ample material for detailed studies. In addition to the achondrites, a unique iron meteorite with abundant silicate (orthopyroxene) inclusions and a large diogenite is also discussed.
