ⓘ Schreibersite

Formula: (Fe,Ni)₃P

Locality: N'Goureyma meteorite, Djenné Cercle, Mopti Region, Mali

Description: Buchwald (1975) later questioned Cohen's observations, but Ramdohr's confirmation seems rather definitive. Most observers are clear that the schreibersite is unusually sparse.

ⓘ Troilite

Formula: FeS

Locality: N'Goureyma meteorite, Djenné Cercle, Mopti Region, Mali

Description: Many inclusions have the form of commas and droplets, tapering against the thin end of the mass. Troilite nodules are somewhat weathered.
