[meteorite-list] Requesting Info on the Ur Meteorite

[Mike Bandli]

I think I answered my own question:

During excavations at Ur, fragments of iron were found containing 10.9% Ni
and undoubtedly of meteoritic origin (1928). Age is estimated 2500 BC.

Does anyone have any of this material available? I am trying to complete my
Iraqi meteorite collection.

Kind regards,
 
Mike Bandli

I cannot seem to find any detailed information on the 'Ur' iron meteorite
from Iraq. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Are there any
specimens in private collections? The Met. Bull. is vague regarding this
one. Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
