Scientific paper
The results of bulk chemical analyses, electron microprobe analyses and petrographic and metallographic studies of the oldest and the last meteorites known to have fallen in Scotland are reported. The first object fell in 1804 and the last in 1917. The olivine compositions and Fe fractions identified the objects as L-group chondrites. Abundant plagioclase feldspar designated the chondrites in the petrologic type-6 category. Both objects were judged to have been heavily shocked, and displayed evidence of metal and troilite melting, the first such occurrence ever recorded in an L-chondrite. The melting is judged to have happened in the temperature range 800-1000 C.
