Метеорит Репеев Хутор, Ахтубинский район, Астраханская область, Россия
Official name: Repeev Khutor
Synonim: Repeew Chutor
Observed fall: yes
Fall: 1933, August 8, ca. 22:00 hrs
Coordinates (Catalogue of Meteorites): 48°36'N, 45°40'E
Approx. recovered weight: 12.35 kg
Iron meteorite, Octahedrite, plessitic, IIF, O-pl
A mass of 12.35 kg was observed to fall in the territory of the "N. K. Krupskaya" kolkhoz, near Kapustin Yar. Eyewitness reported that the meteorite burst into two fragments, but only one fragment was recovered by the boy Aleksey Sakhnov in a 50-cm-deep hole between the kolkhoz barns and the nursery. The mass is conical [height - 12 cm, base - 17x13 cm] with a flattened base covered with shallow regmaglypts. The conical part is very smooth; the black fusion crust, with its wrinkles and warts, has been described by Zavaritsky & Kvasha (1952). The interior contains kamacite lamellae and taenite bands within the dominant plessitic field. Schreibersite is abundant.
Repeev Khutor is one of only 7 Group IIF iron meteorites and is the only witnessed fall within the group. As such it is to be hoped that that a more completed mineralogical description will be forthcoming. In any case, troilite and chromite have been observed in other IIF meteorites [Del Rio; Monahans (1938)]. The presence or absence of such phases in Repeev Khutor would be highly instructive.
