Abstract

Using a complex of methods (X-ray phase analysis, X-ray fluorescence semi-quantitative chemical analysis, Infrared Fourier spectroscopy, synchronous thermal analysis), the mineral composition of the supposed Yablonovy meteorite from Transbaikalia was studied. It was found that the sample consists of native iron (practically free of nickel impuritie; Ni - 0.18 %), okermanite, melilite (gelenite), magnetite, goethite, calcite, siderite, which does not correspond to the composition of meteorite matter. The found sample is nothing more than a slag with a large amount of a metallic iron alloy of some, not yet established, historical metallurgical production on the territory of Transbaikalia.
