Abstract
Iron meteorites make up just over 6% of classified meteorites. They are interesting and rare specimens, however they have proven easy to find based on their particularities. Their majority composition of iron makes them easily detectable with metal detectors and magnets. In this paper we explain the discovery and classification of Elemay 001, the fourth known III AB anomalous type meteorite, classified 54 years after the last of this type. This fact motivates writing this work with which to know the secrets of Elemay 001.
