Camel Donga 003	in weight %	low	0.2 to 1 % by weight	clastic and minor opaque	??? meteorite			none	75 % by volume	agglomeration of particles, many of which record individual, diverse histories			elemental carbon	minor primary grains only	0.01 % by volume	4 % by volume	8 % of meteorite falls	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	0.7 millimeters		recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods		clear, isotropic, variable abundance	oldest and most primitive rock in solar system		less than 0.5 % by weight	greater than 20 % by weight, kamacite and taenite in exsolution relationship	3	1984	0.3 to 3 % by weight		none			rare relative to other chondrite types	less than 950 degree Celsius during its entire history since solidification	Camel Donga	Camel Donga, West Australia, Australia			in weight %	definition goes here	silicates (with very few exceptions)	predominantly monoclinic		in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude	greater than 5 % deviations	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite	15 % by volume	asteroid smaller than 100 km in diameter	chondrules very sharply defined		which depends on degree of aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism
DaG 609		which depends on its composition				15 to 20 GPa	DaG				can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents		no chondrules					during meteor phase which depends on composition		shock metamorphism	recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods	W2			2				1998		iron-rich, monomict, with chromite grains		weakly shocked	0.696 kg			based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred	Dar al Gani plateau, Libyan Sahara Desert	Fs% 27-63	S3			often minerals not found on Earth		lower because the fall was not witnessed	26° 53.13' N. 16° 34.81' E.		directly proportional to initial velocity				A. Sexton, Open University, UK. A. Sexton, Meteoritical Bulletin No 83
Millbillillie		low											no chondrules				7.1 % of meteorite falls	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite			October 1960																Millbillillie	Millbillillie Station 11 kilometers from Wiluna, Western Australia					silicates (with very few exceptions)			in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude		high because it is more friable than iron meteorite
