I think I answered my own question: During excavations at Ur, fragments of iron were found containing 10.9% Ni and undoubtedly of meteoritic origin (1928). Age is estimated 2500 BC.
Does anyone have any of this material available? I am trying to complete my Iraqi meteorite collection.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Are there any specimens in private collections? The Met. Bull. is vague regarding this one. Thanks in advance!
