Ataxite is a structural term, like octahedrite and hexahedrite. Modern classification of iron meteorites is based on the chemical group, which can tell you something about the parent asteroid. The structural classification is quasi-independent of the chemical classification, inasmuch as

Jason, You may be right that there should be more iron to be found But, what if much of it has already been removed by an ancient culture. Attached here is an example of a Scarface figure from the Oxus Culture that has meteoric iron and is of a somewhat dubious origin? The so-called scales on

Hi List, The new Egyptian iron is now official and in the Met Bulletin database. Notice the TKW! 1.6 metric tons! That is a lot of fragments. Also notice the classification type - iron ungrouped. Not ataxite. Although the write-up does say the meteorite shows an ataxitic structure.

Mike, Greg, All, Just 1.6 tonnes? It's a 40 meter crater. Use some logic/physics. Carancas made a 40 *foot* crater. The low estimates of its mass were in the 2-3 tonne range. This crater is three times the diameter... The amount that's there is going to be a lot more than 1,600 kg. I'd guess
