The Kansas University meteorite
by Schneider, D. M.; Benoit, P. H.; Sears, D. W. G.; Jull, A. J. T.
A new 2.8 kg meteorite find from the United States, Kansas University, is classified as an L6 (S3) chondrite based on optical microscopy and electron microprobe analysis of mafic minerals. Natural thermoluminescence (TL) and C-14 measurements suggest that the Kansas University meteorite has a short terrestrial age compared to other meteorite finds from this area and is not paired with the other local meteorite finds, Densmore (1879), Lawrence, Kansas and Long Island, Kansas.
