The "heat-affected zone" near the surface of the Grant meteorite has been examined by metallographic means. This zone, produced by aerodynamic heating during the fall of the meteorite, serves as a record of the thermal gradient which produced it. By comparison of structure and hardness within this zone with artificially heat-treated meteorite specimens, this thermal gradient was reconstructed. Calculations based on the shape of the thermal gradient have permitted estimates to be made of the rate of heat transfer into the meteorite and of the associated rates of ablation.
