Scientific paper

Brownell is a new moderately shocked L6 chondrite from Ness County, KS, that is petrologically distinct from the other L6 chondrites from Ness County. These latter meteorites, Wellmanville, Franklinville, and Ness County (1894), are very similar in their olivine and low-Ca pyroxene compositional distributions, kamacite Co contents, modal abundances of metallic Fe, Ni, and presence of martensitic metallic Fe, Ni (about 14 wt pct Ni). However, their silicates indicate that they have been shocked to different extents. It is suggested that all three probably represent a single heterogeneously-shocked L6 fragmental breccia that fell over a large area over 30 km in length.
