> ... the Coordinates for the Bagdad AZ iron?

Hello Tom and List,

Bagdad, IIIAB
Mohave County, Arizona
34° 32' N / 113° 25' W
Find, 1960

BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron
Meteorites, Volume 2, pp. 292-294, excerpts:

Bagdad is a well-rounded with a few flat to concave faces, giving the
impression of an orange having been packed too tightly with other
oranges in a box. Its maximum dimensions are 10.5 x 8.5 x 7 cm,
and the weight as recovered was 2205 g. Most of the fusion crust
has spalled off due to terrestrial corrosion, but no severe attack has
developed. The meteorite still preserves a smoothly rounded outline,
broken only by two shallow regmaglypts on what was probably the rear
side during atmospheric entry. Avce and Bushman Land are other small
irons with a similar exterior morphology.

.. the etched sections display a medium Widmanstätten structure of straight,
long kamacite lamellae with a width of 1.10±0.10 mm. They also show a beautiful,
oriented sheen, ... Bagdad is a shock-hardened medium octahedrite which is
related to Kayakent, Augusta County and Cumpas.


Best wishes,

Bernd
