Abstract :
In this research paper, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been used to determine the mineralogical and elemental composition of a stone sample recovered from a location near village Lehri in district Jhelum, Pakistan. The test data is compared with previous findings (as reported in literature and included in references) to identify this sample stone as part of a meteorite ablation debris.
