Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy is discussed as a tool for giving information on the origin of meteorites as well as classifying them into the groups of the iron, stone, and stony-iron meteorites. Mössbauer studies of two unidentified findings and two well documented stone meteorites: the Pavel one which fell on February 28, 1966 and the Gumoschnik which fell on April 28, 1904 demonstrate the possibility of the Mössbauer test for authentication of the meteorites..
