Abstract
The Rumanova meteorite which belongs to the H5 chondrite group was investigated for the first time using57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. In the magnetic fraction the magnetite, troilite and iron-nickel alloys were identified. In the non-magnetic fraction, the silicate phases such as olivine and pyroxene were found. The paramagnetic component containing Fe3+ ions corresponds probably to small superparamagnetic particles.
