In this paper, a new mineralogical and chemical data on a new brecciated enstatite are presented. Fe-low enstite is the main pyroxene. Locally small grains of diopside were noted. The rest of silicates are represented by oligoclase and cristobalite. Siliceous glass was also found. The meteorite contains up to11.5 vol.% of Ni-kamacite (up to 6.8 wt.% of Ni and up to 2.9 wt.% of Si). Niningeryt and Cr-rich troilite are the main sulphides. Small amount of graphite forms a bundle-like agregates of fine plate crystals. The classification is still in progres. The new meteorite from Algeria can be an example of unbrecciated enstatite or ungrouped achondrites.

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.

On 21 of July 2001, small fragment of metal has been found on side walk, near branch of Silesian University in Cieszyn, by Ms. Małgorzata Kotowiecki. After a few years, the metallic fragment was carefully study. The investigation show that the metallic element has meteoritic origin. The mineral composition of the meteorite (kamacite, taenite, tetraenite, troilite, daubreelite) classify it as an iron meteorite and the most probably is representative of octahedrite. The meteorite has features of shock metamorphism and represent very old fall. It could be supposed that the meteorite has been transported to the destination place, together with gravel.

In this article the authors present a simple method of determining the content of selected metal raw materials (Fe, Ni, Co) on the parent bodies of ordinary chondrites. Thanks to the use of planimeter for measuring, under microscope, polished slices of meteorites, it is possible to estimate quite accurately the proportion of these metals in the parent bodies of meteorites, i.e. on asteroids. When it comes to analysing a large number of polished slices, these results will be most likely comparable to much more expensive results of chemical tests conducted on meteorites. Based on the analysis of 16 thin polished sections and polished slices of 11 ordinary chondrites, the authors found out that the highest content of Fe, Ni and Co ore minerals, reaching 10,06% of the total volume, can be found in ordinary chondrites from group H. For ordinary chondrites from groups L and LL, it makes 3,86% and 3,93% of the volume respectively. Employing the results of chemical analyses available in literature sources, the authors also estimated the size of Fe, Ni and Co resources for several selected asteroids. These bodies contain higher concentrations of iron, nickel and cobalt than terrestrial deposits (those found in the earth’s crust). The total content of Fe on parent bodies of even the most deficient in metals group LL of ordinary chondrites is about twice as high as that in the earth’s crust. Cobalt occurs on parent asteroids of ordinary chondrites in concentrations 15–24 times as high as those in the earth’s crust, and the concentrations of Ni are 100–180 times as high as those in the earth’s crust. The contents of these metals on parent asteroids of ordinary chondrites are also several times as high as those in currently extracted deposits in the earth’s crust. Taking into account the mean annual terrestrial production of these metals, the authors have estimated that a parent asteroid of ordinary chondrites with the size between 433 Eros and 6 Hebe could satisfy our need for Fe, Ni and Co for the nearest several million to dozens of billion years. Considering the fact that asteroid belt contains plenty of such objects, and as many asteroids built chiefly of Fe-Ni alloy, one should regard this section of the Solar System as a practically inexhaustible source of metal raw materials. The prospect of their exploitation is probably much nearer than we can currently imagine.
