Type: Stone. Olivine-bronzite chondrite (H6). Found: 1929 Recognized: 1939
The physical appearance of this meteorite is of a reddish-brown to dark brown color stone matrix, with small metallic fragments disseminated throughout. These examples were obtained from a museum collection in Texas, and were originally field collected in the NW corner of Sec. 42, G.H. & S.A. Railway Co. Survey, Block O, on the W. Payen ranch.
Items TX-05 A. through H. are natural fragments, reddish-brown to dark brown in color, without fusion crust. The smaller natural fragments are similar in physical appearance to Item TX-05 H. (pictured). The metallic inclusions are only visible on a prepared surface, as illustrated in the cut and polished specimens I., J., and M. below. Natural fragments are priced @ +/- $3.00 / gram.

Type: Stone. Olivine-bronzite chondrite (H6). Found: 1976
This H6 stone exhibits an unusual shock history. Rather than small portions exhibiting major shock, residing in a relatively unshocked matrix, the major portion of the Seminole (d) meteorite is heavily shocked with small, lightly shocked to unshocked, but chemically identical, portions residing within it! Small grains of bright, very fresh metal are profusely distributed throughout the dark brown-black color stone matrix. Total known weight of the Seminole (d) meteorite is only 6.16 kg. This polished slice is a center cut, very rich in metallic inclusions, with one surface and all four edges polished. Glenn Huss # H332.28.
Size: 16.60 grams, 1 1/8" X 7/8" across, X 1/4" thick.

Type: Stone. Olivine-bronzite chondrite (H3-4), brecciated.
According to the "CM", a large number of stones have been recovered from the Tulia-Dimmitt area, and several of them are ascribed to the Tulia (a) brecciated H3-4 type. The dark brownish-black stone matrix of the Tulia (a) has small metallic flakes very densely disseminated throughout. This one of a kind specimen is a part slice with one saw cut edge, and three natural edges. The saw cut edge, and one surface of the slice, have been polished. No fusion crust is present.
