Some photos of Antarctic meteorites
< | H | >

Most meteorites found in the Lewis Cliff area in 1988-89 were small.  Previous field parties had collected the big ones.  This one is 2-3 cm in longest dimension.  Note the smoothness and shiny fusion crust.  Unfortunately, for these small meteorites, I don't know to what class they belong or the LEW88xxx number.
