-
(1979)This volume is comprised of six short contributions reporting the results of some of the research carried out by the Department of Mineral Sciences, Smithsonian Institution, during the period 1976-1977. Included are: a ...
-
(1972)Seventeen short contributions from the Smithsonian's Department of Mineral Sciences from 1969 to 1971 are gathered together in this volume. The scientific and technological subjects treated in these contributions include ...
-
(1975)Thirteen short contributions from the Smithsonian's Department of Mineral Sciences for 1972 and 1973 are gathered together in this volume. Scientific contributions include new data on some mercury minerals from ...
-
(1973)The Murchison meteorite shower, September 28, 1969, occurred in and around Murchison, Victoria, Australia. Chemical and mineralogical analyses established it as a type II carbonaceous chondrite (C2). Murchison consists ...

(1970)Nickel-iron, troilite, olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase, chromite, and phosphate minerals (chlorapatite and/or merrillite) have been separated from a number of meteorites (Modoc, St. Severin, Winona, Haraiya, Marjalahti, ...
-
(1976)Extensive field work has shown that the Australian strewnfield is less extensive than previously thought, being essentially restricted to the region south of latitudes 24? to 25?S. The few australites found north of this ...
-
(1969)Three specimens have been studied of the rare kyanite eclogite nodules in kimberlite from the Roberts Victor mine, South Africa. All are essentially the same with the primary assemblage: kyanite, omphacite, garnet, diamond ...
