Morasko meteorite (IAB octahedrite) contains numerous graphite-troilite inclusions. Within these inclusions, many mineral phases have been found, including native elements, sulphides, tellurides, oxides, phosphates and silicates. Apart from dominant graphite and troilite, the following minerals occur: copper, sphalerite, daubreelite, chromite, cosmochlor, enstatite, albite and orthoclase; phosphates (buchwaldite and brianite) are found occasionally, whereas djerfischerite, altaite, olivine and silica are rare. The mineral composition of the nodules suggests a more complex origin of the Morasko-type meteorites than currently assumed.

The Morasko Meteorite nature reserve is located in Morasko, on the northern edge of the city of Poznań, Poland. In this area the biggest known in Central Europe iron meteorite fall occurred. New mineral phases Moraskoite Na2Mg(PO4)F and Czochralskiite Na4Ca3Mg(PO4)4 have been discovered in the Morasko Meteorite. Both are phosphates, which exist as a parts of nodules – oval inclusions which occur in some iron meteorites, including the Morasko Meteorite. This paper describes the results of our investigation on nodules separated from the Morasko meteorite. Among others, the silicates in form of pyroxene from clinoenstatite group and olivines from forsterite group were found. The presence of phosphates in the form of merrillites was confirmed by electron microprobe analyser. In the metallic parts, on contact between kamacite and taenite crystals, rims (lammelas) composed of tetrataenite were detected. This phase is known to have hard-magnetic properties and could be used as cheaper equivalent for commonly used compounds based on rare earth elements for permanent magnets production.

Sixteen specimens of the Morasko, one specimen of Seeläsgen and one specimen of Jankowo Dolne irons were analyzed with INAA to determine contents of 14 siderophile elements. The samples selected for analyses have their structures described and the presence or absence of cohenite checked. For preliminary interpretation, we have chosen elements determined with highest accuracy: Co, Ni, Ga, As, Ir and Au. The results are shown in tables and diagrams. It has been found that there are no significant differences in composition between fragments with and without cohenite. The observed low contents if iridium are not accompanied by lower contents of elements showing similar behavior during crystallization: platinum and tungsten, which suggests that fractional crystallization was not the reason of lower iridium content. Similar concentrations of elements have been found in all the Morasko specimens, and in the Seeläsgen and Jankowo Dolne irons, which suggests that all these meteorites come from one iron shower.
