History
Name: McKenzie Draw a
Location: Gaines County, Texas
Type: Olivine Bronzite Chondrite H4
In the summer of 1989, five stones were found by D. Billings during the
plowing of a peanut field. They turned out to be H-4 chondrites. The three
that were assigned to fall (a) had a total weight of 11.8 kilograms. The
other two were assigned to fall (b) and had a total weight of 2.99 kilograms.
The three individuals from (a) show identical fusion crust morphologies,
weathering and free metal in the matrices. The two individuals from (b) show
again identical crusts, weathering and lack of free metal.
