Scientific paper

Data are presented on the minerology, chemical composition, and rare gas composition of three paired meteorite samples of a new Fe-rich chondrite found in the Sahara in 1990 and 1991 (Acfer 182, Acfer 207, and Acfer 214), designated as meteorite Acfer 182. The major components of Acfer 182 are (in decreasing order of abundance): (1) highly altered matrix, (2) mineral and polymineralic silicate fragments and aggregates, (3) chondrule fragments, (4) chondrules, (5) metal, and (6) fine-grained dark inclusions. The chemical composition of Acfer 182 was found to be almost indistinguishable from that of ALH85085. Considering their affinity to carbonaceous chondrites and their high bulk iron content, Acfer 182 and ALH85085 are designated as CH chondrites. Their relation to other groups of chondritic meteorites, such as CR chondrites, is discussed.
