Abstract
Abstract— The discovery of 34 new stony meteorites is reported from those areas of the Nullarbor Region, Western Australia named after Mundrabilla, Forrest, Reid and Deakin sidings on the Trans Australian Railway line. The recoveries include 15 H‐, and 15 L‐group equilibrated (types 4–6) ordinary chondrites, two distinct H3 chondrites (Mundrabilla 003 and Forrest 003), a genomict H‐group chondrite breccia (Reid 011) comprising types 3–6, and one structurally anomalous chondrite (Deakin 001). Seventy‐eight distinct meteorites are now known from the region.Keywords
