Abstract

The Xinyang and Jilin meteorites were investigated using Mössbauer spectroscopy. In addition to troilites and silicates, the Jilin meteorite contains taenite and kamacite, while the Xinyang meteorite contains kamacite only. The Mössbauer data of these two meteorites confirm them as ordinary H chondrites. The Mössbauer parameters can be interpreted by a model based on the cooling history of these meteorites.
