troilite). It was later analyzedby Wasson who classified it as a ?solo
iron related to IAB.? The name ?Georgetown (iron)? is now recognized as
official by the Meteorite Nomenclature Committee. J. T. Wasson )
reports that Georgetown (iron) was found an unknown distance from
Georgetown,? Queensland, Australia, by a gold prospector with a metal

Gujba Yobe, Nigeria Fell 1984 April 3, 18:30 local time Class:
Bencubbin-like meteorite. A conical meteorite fell in a corn field
near the village of Bogga Dingare after a bright fireball was
witnessed moving west to east and an explosion was heard. The local
people hammered the meteorite into many pieces, and most of the
material was dispersed. The original mass is unknown, although
secondhand reports indicate that it had a volume of ~20 000 cm3 and
thus a mass of - 100 kg. Material that almost certainly came from this
fall has been sold in the last few years elsewhere in Nigeria, with
claims that the specimens were new finds. Weight: 68.9 grams? Price $3,800
