Name: Ingella Station
Location: South Gregory, Queensland
Australia
Type: Olivine Bronzite Chondrite H5
In 1987 a weathered stone weighing about 10 kilograms was found in the Tenham area.
It was recognized as a separate new find within this strewnfield. However, this meteorite
is distinct from Tenham (L6) and Hammond Downs (H4). Ingella Station was found in a very
weathered state, with traces of old fusion crust remaining, scientist have concluded that
this meteorite has a very old "Earth Age", and had impacted many years earlier than Tenham.
Because of the extensive weathering the matrix is beginning to break apart along the once
metal-rich, but now rusty, veins. Only the presence of nickel identified this as a meteorite.
A large mass of approximately 10 kg, and a second of 7 kg, were found searching the nearby
fields. More were recovered at later dates.
Never published in the Meteoritical Society Bulletins but some information is available.
