What And Where

Recovered near Enon in Clark County around 1883 this specimen was recorded in early geological surveys and later referenced in state meteorite listings. The find was a single small mass recovered from agricultural land and entered museum collections.

Date And Mass of Enon Meteorite

Recovered mass about 0.76 kg from an 1880s find. The small mass suggests a fragmentary recovery from a larger atmospheric breakup or an isolated small fall.

Class And Mineralogy of Enon Meteorite

Classified as a stony iron meteorite with metal phases kamacite and taenite and silicate components. Mineralogical study would focus on textural relations between metal and silicate phases and oxygen isotope analysis to compare with known groups.

Scientific Significance of Enon Meteorite

Stony iron specimens bridge the compositional gap between stony and iron meteorites and provide constraints on mixing processes in parent bodies. Modern analyses include scanning electron microscopy and stable isotope work to determine provenance.
