Scientific paper

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 (77S, 159E) in Victoria Land. The 1977-78 meteorites were collected with special care to avoid contamination, and were transported in frozen condition to the Johnson Space Center, Houston, where they were processed under similar conditions to those used for the lunar samples. Eighty-five specimens of the 1977-78 collection, including most of those weighing over 100 grams, have been characterized, and are described in this monograph. Appendices provide a listing of these in numerical sequence and with significant data, and a table of chemical analyses. A summary of the published data on the ten meteorites of the 1976-77 collection is also included.
