Scientific paper

In the 1980-81 field season a U.S. party collected 32 meteorite specimens in the Allan Hills (ALH) area, 67 near Reckling Peak (RKP), and 1 near Outpost Nunatak (OTT). These specimens have been classified as follows: irons, 2; mesosiderites, 4; eucrites, 3; ureilite, 1; chondrites, 90. The chondrites belong to the following classes and types: C3, 1; H3, 2; H4, 7; H5, 25; H6, 18; L3, 3; L4, 2; L5, 3; L6, 22; LL5, 2; LL6, 4; E5, 1. The mesosiderites are paired with RKPA-79015 (originally classified as an iron with silicate inclusions); 15 L6 chondrites from the Allan Hills appear to be pieces of a single meteorite; several of the L6 chondrites from Reckling Peak are paired with RKPA78001; 13 H6 chondrites from Reckling Peak appear to be pieces of a single meteorite. Additional pairings are possible on further examination.
