Mount Dooling is an iron meteorite found in Western Australia that belongs to the rare class of Type IC iron meteorites. This type of meteorite is characterised by its low nickel content and unusual chemical composition, which includes relatively high amounts of phosphorus and some light elements. Type IC meteorites such as Mount Dooling provide a unique insight into the processes occurring in the early solar system, particularly the differentiation and cooling of planetesimals. This meteorite is an important contribution to our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary bodies and is a valuable specimen for both scientific investigation and collecting.
