Scientific paper

Tierra Blanca is an achondrite (sensu stricto) composed chiefly of orthopyroxene, olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene. The mineralogy, major element chemistry and texture are similar to Winona and also Mt. Morris, Acapulco and Antarctic meteorite ALHA 77081 to some degree. The designation of this group as 'Winonaites', as suggested by Prinz et al. (1980), seems justified and useful.
