Chinga Ataxite Iron Meteorites for Sale
Location:51¼3'30" N., 94¼24" E.
Tanna Tuva, Tuvinskaya, Russia Found: 1913 Type: Iron Ataxite,
Ni-rich (IVB-ANOM). Many masses--including individuals up to
20kg--of total weight about 80kg were found in the Chinga stream,
a tributary of the Upper Yenisey from the Tannu Ola Mountains.
Analysis; 16.38% Ni, 0.181 ppm Ga, 0.082 ppm Ge, 3.6 ppm Ir. Many
of the specimens are strongly oxidized, and some have the torn
appearance characteristic of fragments from meteoritic craters
such as Canyon Diablo and Henbury. It is thought that this fall
was associated with a crater that has disappeared through
erosion, or perhaps has simply passed unnoticed. Fieldwork in
1963 failed to find any crater. Fragments of metal with 16.37% Ni
found in the alluvium of the upper Argolik River, Tuva district,
are now attributed to the Chinga fall.
