Abstract
The Weaver Mountains, Arizona, meteorite has been reanalyzed. The new results confirm those of the previously reported analysis of this meteorite. The specific gravity first reported, 7.108, was found to be incorrect; this was redetermined and found to be 8.07. The Weaver Mountains meteorite has similar metallographic structures to the Babb's Mill, Tennessee, and the Shingle Springs, California, meteorites. These 3 meteorites are nickel-rich ataxites, and the ground-mass of each consists of imperfectly transformed γ-α structures, in which occur small bodies of kamacite.
