Summary

Results of an electron microprobe study of the metal phase and perryite inclusions in the metal of Horse Creek, Mount Egerton, and Norton County enstatitic meteorites are given. The origin of the ‘pseudo-octahedral’ structures observed in the metal phase of the Horse Creek and Mount Egerton ‘anomalous enstatitic meteorites’ is discussed.
