Scientific paper

Camel Donga, a very fresh eucrite meteorite recovered in Western Australia in 1985, is characterized. Camel Donga comprises 12 stones of total weight 2.92 kg and consists mainly of a 3:2 mixture of Wo-16/Fs-49 pyroxene and An-85 plagioclase, with 2 percent pure Fe metal; additional troilite, ilmenite, and SiO2; and gabbroic and doleritic clasts. The major-constituent and trace-element chemical composition is found to be similar to that of other eucrites.
