Scientific paper

The meteorite Abee is a type 4 enstatite chondrite with many centimeter-size clasts. The paleomagnetic conglomerate test was applied to these clasts, to study the thermal and magnetic history of the meteorite. The directions of magnetization in mutually oriented clasts are significantly different, suggesting the meteorite was not reheated to temperatures much above 100°C during or after accretion. Paleointensity estimates were made using Thellier's method. Interior samples which were probably not reheated during entry into the earth's atmosphere show paleointensities of several oersteds. The fusion crust is also strongly magnetized, showing paleointensities up to 60 Oe.
