Meteoric iron and silica-glass from the meteorite craters of Henbury (Central Australia) and Wabar (Arabia)

Abstract

The study of the materials from these two recently discovered occurrences has added much to the knowledge of meteorite craters. The two present many points in common and they supplement one another. At Henbury there is a much better development of the meteoric iron, while at Wabar the silica-glass predominates.
