Scientific paper

The paper reviews detailed structural and compositional analyses of samples from the Havero meteorite, a ureilite which fell in Finland on Aug. 2, 1971. The mineral composition is discussed with special attention given to olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, kamacite, diamonds, and other forms of carbon. Abundances of major, minor, and trace elements are described, cosmogenic radioactive isotopes are identified, and the noble-gas content is summarized. It is noted that this meteorite is enriched in carbon (chiefly diamond and graphite) and is strongly recrystallized. Compositional and structural peculiarities discussed include the brecciated structure, the orientation of the system of cavities, polysynthetic twinning of pyroxene grains, and the fractionation of noble gases. These and other peculiarities indicate that the Havero ureilite was most probably formed during a nonequilibrium process, perhaps resulting from the action of strong shock waves in space.
