Catalog of Antarctic Meteorites, 1977-1978
During two expeditions to Antarctica (1976-77 and 1977-78), more than 300 pieces of meteorites were collected from a small area adjacent to the Allan Hills (77?S, 159?E) in Victoria Land. The 1977-78 meteorites were collected with special care to avoid contamination, and were transported in frozen c...
