Scientific paper

Absence of basalts related to the formation of iron meteorites in the meteorite collections has been a mystery in Meteoritics. We found gabbroic materials rich in plagioclase and augite in the Caddo County IAB iron meteorite in the polished thin sections (PTS) made from areas rich in Al and Ca detected by the microfocus X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping technique. Discovery of another type of basaltic materials associated with iron meteorites, which are the products of partial melting, suggests that they were not lost into space as the explosive volcanism model proposed.
