The Xinyang and Jilin meteorites were investigated using Mossbauer spe
ctroscopy. In addition to troilites and silicates, the Jilin meteorite
contains taenite and kamacite, while the Xinyang meteorite contains k
amacite only. The Mossbauer data of these two meteorites confirm them
as ordinary H chondrites. The Mossbauer parameters can be interpreted
by a model based on the cooling history of these meteorites.
