<title>Abstract</title>
<p>Small stones were recovered from a meteorite shower observed in Cameroon on November 13, 1952. The majority are LL6 specimens, Galim (a), but one is a chondrule-rich enstatite chondrite, Galim (b). Petrology and mineral chemistry were determined on polished sections of both types. Galim (a) has undergone multiple brecciation. During the first, chromite apparently recrystallized in healed fractures under more reducing conditions than those which prevailed when the silicates recrystallized. Galim (b) shows some features of petrologic type 3 but differs considerably from the other unequilibrated E chondrites. It is suggested that Galim (a) and Galim (b) belong to the same meteorite shower.</p></abstract>
