A detailed study of 52 meteorites recovered from Travis County was undertaken
by McCoy et al. (1995a). They found two distinct meteorites: Travis County (a),
a H5(S4)W3 shock blackened chondrite, represented by 41 specimens with a total
weight of 175.4 kg; and Travis County (b), a H4(S2)W3 chondrite with rare
chonditic clasts of H group parentage, represented by 11 specimens with a total
mass of 5.9 kg. The samples are in the Oscar Monnig Collection, Texas Christian
University, Fort Worth, Texas. The original Travis County meteorite, found in 1889,
listed in Graham et al. (1985) belongs to Travis County (a) and had a weight of 2.5 kilograms.
