McCOY T.J. et al. (1997) The Leedey, Oklahoma, chondrite: Fall, petrology, chemistry and an unusual Fe,Ni-FeS inclusion (Meteoritics 32-1, 1997, 019): The Leedey, Oklahoma meteorite shower fell on Nov. 25, 1943, following a fireball which was visible across much of southwestern Oklahoma and northcentral Texas. The shower produced 24 stones with a total mass of ~51.5 kg. The stones formed a strewnfield ~18 km in length in the same direction as the observed path of the meteor (N50 *W). Leedey is classified as an L6 (S3) ordinary chondrite. |
