The Haverö ureilite fell on August 2, 1971 on the Island of Haverö, Finland, lat 22° 03‘ 43“ E., long 60° 14’ 44” N. The meteorite contains curved open fractures partly filled with kamacite foils or drops, clusters of olivine mosaic with preferred orientation, very fine‐lamellar polysynthetic twinned clino‐***bronzite and carbonaceous matter as laths up to 4 mm in length. The carbon laths are in preferred orientation and contain in addition to graphite, kamacite, chromite and diamonds. The petrology, textural features and origin are discussed.
