Abstract
The discovery of the Achilles, Rawlins County, Kansas, meteorite (ECN = + 1008,398; cl. = veined crystalline chondrite, Cka) was made by the Homedale brothers in 1924. The meteorite remained unrecognized for 26 years, until Mr. Anthony Halner noticed the similarity between it and specimens in the H. O. Stockwell display at the Kansas State Fair. The meteorite weighs 12,020 gm. and is covered by a fusion-crust. The original weight is estimated as 16 kg. The meteorite is preserved in the collection of Mr. Stockwell.
