NIAGARA. 



Grand Forks County, North Dakota. 

 Latitude 47° 56' N., longitude 97° 50' W. 

 Iron. Coarse octahedrite (Og) of Brezina. 

 Found 1879; described 1902. 

 Weight, 115 grams (4 ozs.). 



This meteorite was described by Preston, 1 as follows: 



This iron was found 2 miles southeast of Niagara, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, in the early part of August, 

 1879, by Mr. F. Talbot, who discovered it while making a collection of the various rocks and minerals on his father's 

 ranch. 



It measured 30 by 40 by 50 mm. and weighed 115 grains. It was very much oxidized, of a brownish-black color, 

 and showed no trace of the original crust whatever. In sawing it crumbled into small fragments of from 2 to 4 or 5 

 grams weight each. The largest piece obtained weighed 26 grams. 



On etching two pieces composed of unoxidized iron, an octahedral structure was strongly brought out in the Wid- 

 mannstiitten figures, the kamacite plates being somewhat broad, with a second series of markings of hair like lines 

 upon them about the size of the Neumann hues on the Biaunau iron. 



Analysis (Davison):

NOBLEBORO. 



Lincoln County, Maine. 



Latitude 44° 3' N., longitude 69° 28' W. 



Stone. Howardite (Ho) of Brezina. 



Fell 4.30 p. m., August 7, 1823; described 1824. 



Weight, 2 to 3 kgs. (4 to 6 lbs.) 



The first mention of this meteorite was by Cleaveland, 1 as follows: 

 This aerolite fell at Nobleboro, Maine, August 7, 1823, between 4 and 5 o'clock p. m., on land belonging to John 

 and David Flogg. The following account of the phenomena was received from Mr. A. Dinsmore, who was at work 

 near the place on which the aerolite struck.
